Remember: the vast majority of military types, in all branches, are support troops. The actual combat troops are the minority. Even if that dipshit (who obviously doesn't understand what the Constitution says and intends, the one which they took an oath to theoretically defend), even if they were a Marine, they were by all likelihood some mouth breathing supply troop doing the same task in a uniform that vast numbers of others do in a T-shirt at Sam's, Costco, and "Box Store XYZ" and the Marine's perspective about what is necessary in this regard is as relevant as a cricket's thoughts on the design of fuel injectors in Chevy trucks.
And, just to be clear, our Founding Fathers very well intended for every citizen to be disciplined and armed so that they may do battle with any who would oppress them...ANY. Read their words. It isn't interpretation, it is reading them word for fkn plainly clear word.
If I want to own a cannon, a tank, an attack helicopter, and a fighter jet, and I can afford to buy them, the Founders very much gave me the right to do so in that glorious Constitution.
People that want to forbid you this right either want to control you, fear that they are not responsible or stable enough to be trusted to act morally and legally with such things, or both of these things.
