"By calling attention to 'a well regulated militia,' 'the security of the nation,' and the right of each citizen 'to keep and bear arms,' our founding fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy... The Second Amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic civilian-military relationships in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of his country. For that reason I believe the Second Amendment will always be important." - John F. Kennedy

In the days of Washington all men had the same weapons. It was the duty of citizens to take up arms if the government were to try to impose another king. Today that is not the case. You, your neighbor could arm yourselves with all the assault weapons you want but if a tyrant takes over the government you're not going to be able stop it. This is not a Hollywood movies. Assume I am an evil ruler and my general comes into the oval office, interrupts me from watching The Price Is Right, while I'm eating my PB&J.
He informs me that we are meeting resistance in The Village. My instruction would be as follows: send a drone to take out the whole block and if continues flatten The Villages.
Now I know this is totally ridicules, but what I'm trying to get across, if the day ever comes where this country is taken over by a dictators, there are no weapons that can match what the government has stock pilled.
