Cool, SCOTUS gets to rule on it again, hopefully with at least one new appointee from me.
The state militia system has evolved into the modern era of multi branched national military. And that was the point of the second amendment, to form a well regulated militia. That is our well regulated militia.
So you could maybe make some argument for a deterrent effect, but in general, the US hasn’t really had to actively use the militia against external forces in a long time.
This is all the more reason we dont need everyone in America armed. We’re not thwarting off foreign miltaries anywhere near our borders.
Aviation and marine vehicles are both flying, just in different fluids.
