If you ignore the “well regulated m*****a” part of the second amendment as the activist Supreme Court has should all arms be protected and allowed?

That isn't what the Supreme Court ruled. The Supreme Court ruled that the 2nd amendment grants two distinct inailable rights. The right to keep and bear arms and the right to form or join a m*****a. The Court also ruled that the government has the right to create laws on gun ownership and gun attainment as long as the law doesn't infringe on the right to keep and bear arms.

I forgot a very important comment. No one citizen or government entity has the right to ignore any portion of the Constitution. If you disagree with any portion of the Constitution you have the right to adress your grievance to the government or request an amendment to the Constitution. I wish you a lot of luck in your quest. Just one more thing. I am not a gun owner, I personally saw more guns in my 11 years in the U.S. Army to include a tour in Vietnam to last me a life time. Just remember one thing, There is no greater document in the world than the world than THE U.S. CONSTITUTION.

Well, it seems that both sides like to ignore anything that isn't convenient to the why they think. The Second Amendment says quite specifically..."a well-regulated m*****a" and in 1787 when the greatest document ever written was signed, a well-regulated m*****a drilled weekly and submitted to the civilian authority where they could be activated by the governor at the request of the President. In fact, George Washington did just that when he called up the m*****a of 4 states during the Whiskey R*******n. Now I bring this up because m*****a didn't activate themselves but responded equally to whichever governor or president called them up at the time.

So do you think the founders thought it would be a good idea to put weapons of a power they couldn't imagine in the hands in the hands of individuals whose only objective was to o*******w the government when one ideology is in charge or do you think if Biden called up the m*****a that the conservative yahoo's in them would come running to the defense of our nation?

It doesn't matter what words are written in a document, they can only be as great as the mentality of the people who act upon them. And right now we have a bunch of i***ts with weapons of a power that endangers this nation and I don't think that was the intent of the founders when they penned the world's greatest document.

Nope, neither the POTUS nor a governor are authorized to call up the citizen m*****as.

Biden can't call up the m*****as because they are citizen m*****as, not the National Guard.

Our inalienable right to bear arms is there just in case the "ideology in charge" is an anti-constitution foreign political philosophy, such as socialism, Marxism, f*****m, N**ism, or C*******m with the goal of a dictatorship.
It is just such forms of authoritarian government the citizens have the right to rebel against and o*******w.

The real i***t with weapons of power who is endangering our nation is stumbling around in the White House with his fly unzipped and his brain in total melt down.

Thank you for clarifying these two points that Kevyn does not seem to understand.

So the burden of "responsibility" has been shifted to the arms manufacturers:

The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) is a United States law which protects firearms manufacturers and dealers from being held liable when crimes have been committed with their products. However, both manufacturers and dealers can still be held liable for damages resulting from defective products, breach of contract, criminal misconduct, and other actions for which they are directly responsible in much the same manner that any U.S.-based manufacturer of consumer products is held responsible. They may also be held liable for negligent entrustment when they have reason to know a gun is intended for use in a crime.

The PLCAA is codified at 15 U.S.C. §§ 7901-7903.

...so...this just means, that they give the burden to insurance companies....hence driving up the price of weapons...which, does nothing to protect anyone except the manufacturers. Just like if you "criminally" drive drunk and k**l someone with your car: vehicular manslaughter.

In the 18th century “well regulated” meant well-trained, well-organized, well-armed, well-disciplined. It didn't mean “regulation” by a regulatory state.

Your question has no practical relevance.

If you were going down a street in a canoe and your wings fell off; how many peaches could you put in a glass?

That question is as ludicrous and relevant as the question you ask.
