    No it’s not, everything the founders wrote about was directly designed to keep people armed and under no situation shall they be disarmed. Go read some of their papers.

      The founders were slave oligarchs, the tyranny they were keeping the citizens armed to defend against was Haiti.

          If that was genuinely the reason a significant faction of them wouldn’t have been arguing in favor of trade deals with them instead of France, the country that basically won the war for us at sea.
