I think there is some misunderstanding as to the intent of the 2A. Remember our Founders had just faced down an oppressive government that had infringed upon & disregarded natural rights. The foundational thinking of 2A is that as a last recourse in defense of natural rights. . .
In the face of oppressive threats, both foreign & domestic, a citizenry must be armed; when all rational debate had failed, it was time to take up arms in defense of natural rights. Therefore, the American people, as a defense mechanism for their natural rights, should never. . .
Have those rights of last resort and defense infringed upon. And as for level of weaponry, trust me, the Founders wanted a citizenry that was equally armed at the levels of the day; musket to musket, cannon to cannon. So I remain firmly convinced that every citizen today. . .
Who is mentally healthy, no criminal record, etc. should have the right to be armed with as heavy a weaponry as possible as is a Constitutional right. Convince me otherwise.
