yeah al, the second amendment is also a protection for civilians against those that are supposed to protect you. if the govt wanted to just come in your house and take everything you own how are you going to stop them, they have more firepower than you now. there needs to be a level playing field. if the govt has the right to use it to protect you, you have the right to use it to protect yourself from them.
on a sidenote...what would happen if another country invaded us and we're all running around with 22 caliber pea shooters.
