Primal edge you are correct. We need to under stand the spirit and environment in which the second was written. The founding fathers were resisting the tyranny of the british government trying to confiscate their arms. They believed the people should have the full power of the government and they should have whatever arms the government, their potential enemy and oppressor had. In modern times this means even "assault rifles" our whatever made up term you want for astheticaly scary guns such as these rifles which kill fewer people in this country them hammers do.
