Are people in the US aware that they are now definitely a rogue state, or is this fact covered up by the usual patriotism somehow?

    I’m not sure thats right. I think the 2A was written in order to enable the US to be able to organize militias to defend itself against foreign invasion as, at the time, the idea of the colonies supporting a standing army was impossible.
