I do not believe the 2nd Amendment was even written with such a scenario in mind. It was written in case the British or some power like the Canadians or Mexicans came at the fledgling US like with the War of 1812, battles along the Mexican-American border and various Indian Wars. They wanted militias that were well armed in the very real possibility that attacks would come as they had before in the lifetimes of the Founding Fathers.
They wanted Minute Men not terrorists like those fighting in the French and other Revolutions. https://history.state.gov/milestones...800/french-rev
First and foremost these were people who fought with the pen and not the sword.

It would be very helpful when folks are discussing gun control just exactly what it is they want to accomplish.
The anti gun folks always paint with the broadest brush possible when proposing more controls.
Additionaly they never contrast how having more gun control laws does not work as demonstrated in Chicago, Los Angeles, NYC, et al.
There needs to be more specifics as in how to keep mentally ill from getting guns. How to prevent criminals from getting guns.
Those two alone would all but elinate the so called gun problem here in the USA. And of course in our permissive, don't offend anybody society there is no chance to make either work (as proven in Chigao, Los Angeles and NYC).
However to have something to say to appeal to the anti gun voter base, politicians and most all other anti gun people go broad brush. The merry go round continues to spin, hence nothing changes.....
