Aside from this, history and civics textbooks and teachers already tell
kids lies about how the 2nd Amendment supposedly gives the states a
"collective" right to a militia that's sort of like the National Gaurd, and
that in the 18th and early 19th Centuries guns were kept at state arsenals,
rather than in peoples' homes. Students are also taught that private
ownership makes the US more dangerous than Europe, as if foreign
governments' crime statistics are any more reliable than state governments'
records of public students' test scores.
To cite only one piece of evidence, in Notes on the State of Virginia,
Jefferson stated that militia members (by law, all able bodied white men)
were required to own a gun and ammunition, and it's clear from the context
they had the guns in their own homes. He estimated that only about 60% had a
gun, and that in most cases the main reason for having one was to shoot farm
pests.

changing

and
