Understanding the Second Amendment:
“A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”
The term “well-regulated” was commonly used before 1789 and continued to be for a century after. It described something being in proper working order, calibrated correctly, and functioning as expected.
The term “militia” refers to all citizens capable of military service. The National Guard did not replace the militia, as clarified by the Militia Act of 1903. The National Guard is the organized militia, while able-bodied men between 17 and 45 are part of the reserve militia. The Militia Act of 1903 repealed the requirement for men to provide their own firearm under the Militia Act of 1792.
The term “to keep and bear” is very easy to understand. “To keep” means to have or possess. “To bear” in this context means to carry and to hold. The phrase very simply means that you can have the item in your possession.
The term “shall not be infringed” means to wrongly limit or restrict. This acts on the previous phrase, “to keep and bear”. The language is clear and concise.
The Second Amendment, in more modern terms, would read like this: “A properly armed people are necessary for a state to be free and safe. American Citizens can have weapons in their possession, and you can't do anything about it.”
Understand this; The US Constitution is a limit on government, not citizens, and our rights don't end where your feelings begin. You have no right to infringe on our inalienable rights.

Beto O’Rourke to a Greg Abbott supporter who laughed when the gubernatorial candidate mentioned the mass school shooting in Uvalde, Texas: “It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.”
The only proper response to a gun nut.

When I served in the United States Army, I carried a similar weapon. But, when it's being used to kill children (or concert-goers, or church-goers, or people just trying to buy groceries), does it really matter what it's called?

Go commit some crimes, my child
Jaune: Huh... Never thought I'd see this with a double barrel.
Ruby: Yeah, it's still kinda in development, but there's talk about it coming here soon.
Jaune: Really? Is it any good?
Ruby: I mean, it is, but it's also more expensive than a single barrel. Like, you have to use double the rounds AND upkeep both barrels!
Jaune: Huh, that would be pretty expensive, huh?

Hot take: I'm 100% behind President Joe Biden's idea of restoring the ban on Assault Weapons. Fuck the originalist reading of the 2nd Amendment, there is no legitimate reason (even overthrowing an oppressive government) that should allow regular citizens to buy, keep, and arm themselves with assault style rifles. I've shot those things. They are designed for, created for, and have no other purpose other than to cause mass human casualties, and we don't need that shit in some fucking Chad's hands.
