Lest you should yet be unclear about the intent of the 2nd Amendment, i.e.

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Let us suppose, for a moment, that the Ukrainian people had been disarmed.

The battles of Lexington and Concord were, by the “Colonists”, prosecuted from behind stone walls and tree trunks. Those patriots responded with whatever firearms they had at hand. Recall that the British plan was to seize their arsenal(s).

It did not go well. The British fought according to their battle plan and with strict obedience to the cental command.  Our patriots did not.

The British DID NOT learn from their experiences during the French and Indian War. The Russians learned nothing from their Afghanistan campaign. And WE are front row to the show on why Viet Nam was – for us - a combat debacle.

However… I still do not understand why 12 GA 7½ sporting clay ammo is being rationed at Academy Sports.
