The feeling of freedom that firearm ownership gives us is an illusion. The 2nd amendment is not about firearms, it is about arms. It has been the great trick of .gov to turn the 2nd amendment into a gun issue. The freedom the founders intended was for private citizens to be able to stand up to tyranny by amassing military resources equal to the State. This has long since been impossible. Anyone who thinks his safe of ARs will help in an insurrection is living in delusion.
