Why was the second amendment written?

Q: Why was the second amendment written?

A: Red Indian wars.

Fake news. So that the power to resist a corrupt and tyrannical government would always be in the hands of the people.

"The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them."
- Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, 1833

Justice Story was nominated to the United States Supreme Court by President James Madison. Madison wrote the Second Amendment.

In almost 250 years, our citizens have never had to use private arms against the government.

We rely on freedom of speech, freedom of the press and the vote to keep our Government in check.

THAT is what Madison intended

You skipped by the Civil War in History Class...........Were you Home Schooled......LOL

That is a lie. I was personally in an armed stand-off that ended peacefully. AND our federal government has used the military against the people of the United States. Occasionally they do dry runs to see the limits of the peoples resolve.

I doubt many will agree on the purpose of the second amendment, but I'd love to hear why everybody thinks the second amendment was written. Personally, I understand that it was put there so that we could take back our government if they get out of control.

It was to arm the local militias.

No.
It was to make sure the people always had access to the weapons necessary to an effective militia.
You may not see the difference, but its there and its clear .
