Honestly you're giving them way too much credit. There's no long-term plan. They're incapable of having long-term plans. Most these people can't think past next quarter.

The second amendment was written because Patrick Henry was scared of slave rebellions. He was trying to drrail the ratification of the constitution. The argument was that if the federal army was away then nobody would be around to save the slave owners from their deserved fate. Thus Madison creates the second amendment to ensure states have the right to have local militias. The whole idea is for state militias to be in addition to the federal army.

Now this might shock you, but I don't think that my brother thing was him being genuine.
