Shay's Rebellion is before the founding. Hence irrelevant.
Not really. It reinforced the fact that a stronger fed gov't was needed to deal with situations like that. Of course it was one factor among others but it was not dismissed as irrelevant.
All I can picture are millions of pickup trucks with millions of people with guns in the air standing in the beds of those trucks driving randomly all over the country trying to find terrorists which use the internet and other methods to make their whereabouts and potential attack locations random. It will be a wild goose chase where you can't even see the goose. And those people will become profiler, judge, jury, and executioner.
Telling people that have no desire to be armed to "take up arms" is as offensive as those who want to disarm people.
Why can't people just leave others alone?
No its not. You have a choice. Do it or not. The anti-gun Clown Terrorists, don't want you to have that choice. Anti-Gun folks always come up with this kind of irrational thinking.
You should have thought about that before you posted, and left the folks in here alone. Irrational..

Thank you. And the founders were fully involved in reinforcing that government, including providing for the militia to suppress insurrections. I don't understand his attempts to downplay or pass over the founder's decisions and actions in that regard.
