    The police do not fulfill this function…and did you really want the police to have that much power?

    The national guard is a standing army they warned against as well.

      Again. Alexander Hamilton did not warn against standing Armies. He was defending the Constitution against Anti-Federalists who were worried that the Congressional power to raise an Army would lead to a dictatorship.

      Stop repeating what the NRA said and actually read what’s written. Then go look at the man’s biography.

        Lol yes he did, he even calls out having fought a war against a standing army… please provide me differently writings from him that says otherwise. The NRA can burn, stop thinking you’re discussing this with someone who is a Republican NRA member…

          This is one of the most famous bits of revisionist history from the gun lobby.
