The government is constantly misinforming the public about the meaning and intent of the second amendment. They'd have us believe that it's about sporting purposes. That was the language used by the ATF under the 68 Gun Control Act to prohibit the importation of certain types of firearms. The 2nd Amendment was meant to prohibit the USA having a standing army that could be used to subjugate the people. A well armed and trained militia could make short work of any would be despot.

You can still buy an automatic weapon which is particularly well suited for militia and military purposes as described in the second amendment. The problem is that the number of such weapons was frozen to those in place in the country at the time of the enactment of the Hughes act in 1986.

This is tantamount to limiting the number of voters in the USA to the number that existed in 1986. Anyone coming along later is out of luck in exercising the franchise,

I believe that a DA in the Idaho county where the Ruby Ridge murders were conducted by the feds was attempting to prosecute the killers in state court.

I don't think there is a statute of limitations on murder, so charges could conceivably still be brought and should be.
