re: This is a very potent argument against the "2nd amendment means militia" talking point

If the hypothetical issue at hand was big enough to cause mass amounts of citizens to leave their comfort and take up arms against the government, the hypothetical issue at hand would be big enough to cause a certain amount of servicemen to walk away from the military. That’s just common sense. Some of these “the military would kick civilians asses” arguments don’t recognize that, and therefore are flawed.
