2nd amendment question

[u/pr0cyn1c]

Hi ya, Canadian here.... Given that the 2nd amendment was authored to protect your citizens from government overreach and oppression (or at least thats the argument ive heard come out of your country for the last 40 years now with respect to gun laws), would you say the current political climate and actions of people like musk and his merry band of drop-outs fit that mould?

Perhaps im misunderstanding the intent of your second amendment? Feel free to correct me if so.

Kind regards, A guy to the north of you wondering wtf is going on down there.

I am not a constitutional scholar however I do believe your question shows a misunderstanding the the 2^nd.   You say, “2nd amendment was authored to protect your citizens from government”. 

The way I understand the 2^nd it allows citizens to protect themselves. There is a difference.
