La fin du meird
Given the creators of this republic feared a permanent military force on our soil because it would breed mistrust with civilians....
Pretty sure they would have sided with the populace should be BETTER armed then the government officials policing it. I mean what did they have, a night watchman that would make a fuss so the citizens could react and take care of things and later on a ticket taking constable that worked fee based.
One could argue they needed to be better armed to deal with urbanization and do their duty with a force advantage but, I don't think our founders would agree.
