The whole “Second Amendment” argument is moot, anyway, people. The original framers of the Constitution included it BECAUSE America was NOT supposed to have a standing army, but, rather, was supposed to be protected by various state militias which that amendment provided – once we established the “standing military”, the Amendment became superfluous!
Second Amendment?? Oh, the one about a well-regulated militia, and the “security of a free state”? (I’m not sure what that “free” is doing there, but remember that the word “state” occurs in the constitution over 200 times and in all but one case means one of the constituent bodies of The Union.)

Where would James Madison have gotten a coat made to look like an American flag that is long after Madison’s time?

The second amendment gave the states the right to have militias . . . That’s it.

What does the current state of the Unites States have to do with well regulated militias?

I do wonder what message Hagen is trying to send, since in this portrayal, Biden’s paired revolvers clearly outgun Madison’s (lone?) flintlock.
