The 1776 Constitutions of Virginia and North Carolina described the 2nd amendment thusly:
“That a well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defense of a free state, therefore, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; that standing armies, in time of peace, should be avoided as dangerous to liberty; and that in all cases the military should be under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power.”
This is a clear admission that democracy is incompatible with military dictatorship. The military must be subordinate to the civil power. The language is antiquated enough that it needs to be reinforced to dismiss ambiguity (the ambiguity of “well regulated” meaning “well-functioning” in 18th century English, for instance).
The law shall therefore state unequivocally that if you have the right to vote, you have the right to bear arms. If you are trusted with the sacred right to vote, then you are trusted with the right to bear arms.
