Midwest and ubiq
Our country basically had seven “founding fathers”. Three (Hamilton, Madison, John jay ) wrote the federalist papers to promote the constitution (signed in 1787)
These papers (about 85 articles) talk about the intent of the militia (among other things)
It is clear that the intent was to have an armed populace to counter a centralized standing army. I believe the papers even state that they should have similar weapons. (And yes we have already rehashed the nuclear weapon and cannon question)
An interesting article came out two years ago in “the week” (a slight left of center publication).
Google “the week Hamilton solved America’s gun problem”
The gist is that we should mandate that all gun owners join militias and mandate the militias to take care of training and mental screening etc
It’s an interesting article
But my main point is that it has all the the quotes from the federalist papers to prove that armed citizens to counter a standing army was the intent of the founding fathers.
Another point is the disingenuous (or sheer ignorance) of the left and even leftist courts to suggest that the fathers wanted to protect hunting .
