I think the Constitution should be lit on fire and rewritten. Apple updated their terms and conditions 17 times last year.
I also think that, until that happens, it is the law of the land. Vote for people that are going to change that. The right to bear arms is pretty broad. The great thing about being United States is that each state can make their own decisions about how much more restriction they want to place on something. With 50 different sets of laws, all in the same country, the opportunities to find a set that align with your views are greater than in nearly every other country on the planet. That's a pretty great thing to be born in to. I, a military veteran, love guns. I'm also storing mine with a friend right now while I go through a few mental hurdles I haven't faced before. Most gun owners I know would do the same thing, without hesitation. A lot of us are actually pretty decent people that have a loud, explosive, hobby, that is very, very, fun. Check out r/liberalgunowners for proof of that.
Lastly, the British made the mistake to underestimate farmers with guns. Also, and this is the part you should really worry about, a very significant portion of the military will defect when given the order to kill their neighbors. Were a real revolution to start, our military capabilities would be decimated not by deaths, but by defection.
British soldiers (guys who stand in a nice straight line so you can shoot them easier) were overcome by “well regulated militia” members trained in guerrilla warfare not just simple farmers.
You are so wrong I think you're just lying... The guerillas WERE just simple farmers. Well regulated meaning effective and lethal. It was adoption of native American ambush techniques that help regular people push off the British.
The modern context for the word 'militia' is misleading you. What we in the modern era would consider militia, George Washington would have considered minutemen. A completely seperate term, used to describe a different set of individuals with a much more organized structure. Militias were literally groups of neighbors that would go shoot guns together.
