I agree the times have changed. We don't have foreign troops quartered here, but we did.
Jefferson was the Grandaddy liberal, but he famously surmised that one day, the govt could become tyrannical, despite the best intentions. And the Founders knew there were already Anti-Con forces inside and out. See the President's Oath. It is the only one in the Constitution.
So, you can't stand up with a pea shooter, right. That's why you only want pea shooters.

. But, squads with ARs are a match for any unit's individual firepower.
The Cong had no air power, helicopter supplied fire bases, $Millions a day in ordinance. The Cong got our stuff and used it against us and won.
If you need weapons take them, says Che.
It is not the weapons that win the fight. It is the will alone that wins.
But, it is too insidious now. The idea that some internal Rebel Army stand up inside, and says OK, lets fight, is not it. So, Buck is correct in that way. Since this is a Federated Gang, no State can get out of the Union. So, an overthrow of the Federal govt has to be done by the States. It is not a Monarchy where you wave the severed head around and you are done.
If you tried to overthrow a State govt, the mutual aid kicks in and the Fed falls on the little problem and obliterates it.
No, really, guns were and are now mainly for the break down in civil order. Injuns, and French marauders. Crazy Texans running around. Mormons torching newspapers.
Guns are the strength of America. We can and do take matters into our own hands in self rule. WE guard while the Cops flee like in New Orleans, Watt, Harlem, Chicago, Detroit, Oakland, etc.
And there was not a gun nut culture until all the clamp down began. Think about that.
Guns were normal tools until the lying and handwaving emotion tamper that Buck and others fell for. That created the Gun Nut Culture.
Thank you, Libertard busybodies, do-gooders. Now there is a really crazy looking opposition, to your crazy looking opposition to a Constitutional Right.
No one understands backlash.
