> It is no mystery why the Constitution included the provision allowing citizens to arm themselves with the same class of weapons that the government possessed.

It's worth noting that no longer do citizens have the ability to arm themselves with "the same class of weapons" as the government. Unless you're willing to sell APCs and cruise missiles to private parties, there's no way a rebellion can outgun country's military.



I don't think it is worth noting, I doubt it would be productive to go into John Birch Society / Oath Keeper territory :)
