Context is important. They didn’t want a standing army because of history of standing armies being used against the people. They didn’t really talk about it in a home self defense sense. 

Also, there’s early examples of signatories of the Constitution disarming groups and taking their guns. 

I do think if they saw the situation with guns today they wouldn’t stand for it and would amend and clarify.

Yep. Then reality hit them in the face and standing armies became necessary. 



A lot of the original guys were probably thinking why the fuck do we still have the same constitution.
