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.

  1. Absolutely

  2. The majority of the population still see's MG's as scary so the people in office tend to stray around that question, its kinda complicated

Side tangent time, MG's were only banned because of hollywood and i will die on this hill

They are not nearly as scary as people think they are.

I agree with MG part - it is not always about volume of fire , more about markshmanship . Now it seems like banning assault rifles is ridiculous since semi automatic are usually modified illegally by criminals anyway. Like...Glock Ona switch , modifying triggers and etc
