It is to have, in the people, the military power to face down the government.If this is true and one interprets what you said literally, then this means any citizen or group of citizens has to right to acquire and possess powerful military weapons, even those typically only available to states.
So if US citizens who are members of a military-religious order construct an anthrax weapon or Sarin weapons, they have a constitutional right to do so?
If this order were al Qaeda or ISIS, would that not disturb you? Yet on what constitutional grounds could you deny them the right to build WMDs?
