The 2nd Amendment has been interpreted by the NRA and others to allow citizens to arm themselves against Government tyranny. It is therefore illogical that tax payers should pay money to fund the very forces against which they may one day find themselves up against in armed battle. The NRA has a clear vision of an America in which law abiding citizens each protect their own property with military class weaponry, but it is useless against the drones, tanks, and explosive might of the American military.
This is akin to fighting the drug war by giving huge amounts of money directly to the cartels.
