Times change, weapons change and We the People have the right to be armed with the same weapons that our military use to insure that our government respects the Constitution that We The People enjoy. The government should fear the people, the people should not fear the government. That is one of the main things that you libs seems to have forgotten that without the 2d Amendment the other nine would soon be consigned to the trash heap.
The second amendment was most certainly not written during "our war against the mother land" That war ended in 1781 with the surrender in Yorktown, although it took two more years for the treaty to be finalized, so 1783. The bill of rights was written in 1789 and ratified in 1791. It is best to have the facts correct before you offer an opinion based on errors in fact as it then appears your opinion is as invalid as your incorrect fact.
