I’m not going to argue if it’s a good or bad law, but as written, each state gets to regulate which residents get nothing more than a butter knife, or a nuke, and where the state keeps those things. Arms !== rifles.
- sudosysgen 6y agoA states militia? That's one thing. It's just that it you were to interpret the 2A literally even the State levek gun control laws are out of order. The reason why a states militia would be an issue is that it's just mostly useless. States aren't allowed to meddle in foreign policy, so what would the militias do?
- refurb 6y agoState militias can have their own military grade weapons. They’d just need to follow the NFA. Civilians can own things like howitzers, mortars, etc. At least at the federal level, state laws vary. Check out the Knob Creek event held every year. Tons of military weaponry, all privately owned.
