No problem, not interested in the 2nd amendment per se.

Just pointing out that (a) one cannot overthrow a government which has nuclear
capability with puny guns, (b) the use of weapons in urban survival combat
does not appear to be purpose of the 2nd amendment, and (c) the 2nd amendment
would seem to refer to a militia and not to individuals as such.

And thus the peace broke out.
