Geez, I thought the second amendment was a codified protection of our right to armed revolt.
I guess they were just thinking about being able to walk the street with a 38 on your hip to defend yourself from muggers though?
The second amendment protects our right to form militias and represents a "last line" in the defense of self-governance of, by, and for the people. A line of defense beyond checks and balances, beyond ballots, beyond the electoral college, that goes beyond protection of dissent through word and through pen. The argument from "libs" is that we no longer need it, I personally don't think it's a good argument.
