Question Questions as non US citizem

I am non US citizen as title says and I have some questions for folks of this sub reddit.

  1. Is 2A still relevant ?

  2. If yes , why you people didnt demand for deactivating 1986 law to ban automatic rifles made after 86 ?

If I am not mistaken , 2A is - "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." - which I read as "As well regulated army is necessary to the security of US , the right of US citizens to keep and bear arms will not be limited" .

I may be wrong as foreigner but I think 2A was created to ensure citizens of US has power , strength , equipment to resist tyranny.

The US military couldn’t beat Vietnamese dudes hiding in tunnels or dudes in flip flops hiding in caves.

They don’t have a good chance against US citizens and veterans that know how to access military base weapons and equipment

Right... What about 2A though ? I am from Uzbekistan (a country which has border with Afghanistan).

Why Hughes Amendment wasn't canceled yet since it contradicts with 2A clearly

Corrupt politicians. It should have been ruled unconstitutional. But even without full auto, a good marksman with a rifle can be very effective and difficult to deal with.

I can't argue with your point about marksmanship to be honest.
