if history does repeat itself, i would much rather rely on the army, marines, navy, etc to protect me than some nut job with 4 assault rifles that wears a tin foil hat

The 2nd Amendment does not say "The right to form militias due to an absence of a federal army." lol
The right to form a militia is there because the militias would fight against the state military, should it be taken over in tyranny, they are not one in the same.
You can't rely on the army, marines, navy, etc if they are the ones oppressing you. Think. This is why you have the right to form militias in case this ever happens.
Seems like a lot of you need to study history more to understand how tyranny unfolds.
