re: #254 William Lewis
OTOH, looking the Mexican-American war fought mostly by the standing army in the service of the slave owners of Texas, were the Founders all that terribly wrong for wanting to avoid a standing army?
I hope you understand that that’s not the problem with the 2nd amdt. that was being pointed out.
The justification was the necessity of a well-regulated militia. The need for an “uninfringeable” right to bear arms does not follow from this justification.
