This hundreds of years old piece of paper has made it very easy for gun enthusiasts and the NRA to paint Freedom and being armed to the teeth as the same thing. You can't have one without the other apparently.

I do realise than it's part of the problem, but I wouldn't say than it's as problematic than the NRA or what some call the ''gun culture''.
To be honest, the militia part of the 2nd Amendment is completely out of date and probably dangerous.
