“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” B Franklin, yes that is out of context but still has merit. The constitution was to protect you from the, government, the right to bear arms was to help keep government from too much power, yes an armed uprising is a little far fetched these days. I don't think many would argue that the framers could not anticipate a day when society could not protect it self from its own citizens. It is within living memory when things were very different, gun sales through the mail , mass shooting just about unheard of . Much more personal freedom and we have the other side of the coin.
