The Founding Fathers understood what they were doing when they inserted the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution. They had just successfully led an armed rebellion over the largest and best trained military the World had ever seen to that point. They understood the implications, and dangers that such a stance would mean. However, they deemed the rewards and values of Freedom were greater than any risks.
In times of great uncertainty such as these, we would do well to head our Founder’s intentions and Federal Constitution by viewing ALL laws through the lens of the Bill of rights. The 2nd Amendment should be viewed only in its historical meaning.
