Tens of thousands of armed citizens came to protest in VA, said what they had to say, and harmed nobody at all. Then they left. But not before cleaning up after themselves. Talk about pissing the ones trying to sell the progtard narrative off. I did laugh.

No, oh monkey of much ignorance, it meant smartly turned out. Presentable. Efficient. And if you know even a tiny bit of your nation's history, you are arguing in bad faith right from the start.

Presentable, eh? So they had to follow some kind of dress code? Smartly turned out, like carrying the right weapons?
The Supreme Court agrees with me. The standing decision that protects an individual right to lawfully bear arms specifically states that rules controlling who gets what weapons are legit because they're analogous to a militia.

You reckon after the fact court decisions change what the founders flat out said they meant? Interesting.

Ah how your brain betrays you. Even going with your own definition it becomes clear that the mentally ill and violent would be a hindrance to such efficient operations of a militia.
You wackos keep denying the ability for government to regulate firearms but never in US history has that been true. Even the original debates during the ratification included discussions of state regulation. Let us take it to some more extremes, see if your brains have a break point where logic kicks back in. Should individuals have mines? Grenades? RPGs? AA missiles? Nukes?
The supreme court already affirmed that individuals are guaranteed the right to own weapons for self-defense in their home. That doesn't mean you get to have a true machine gun, or hand grenades. Or ignore regulations like safe storage and licensing to make sure some dumbass doesn't take a gun home and do some target practice at the wall.
Your rabid "muh guns" stance has been slapped down repeatedly, and regulations preventing violent criminals and the mentally ill from owning weapons upheld. You simply let your paranoia run wild, and truly you harm your own cause with such stubborn ignorance.
