Supreme Court justice Joseph Story, nominated by James Madison wrote “Commentaries On The Constitution” on the 2nd Amendment.
He wrote the reasons for the 2nd Amendment is
1. To protect our property.
2. To protect our borders. (Well at least during WWII Japan didn’t do a full blown attack from what I’ve read cuz we were to well armed... Those days are over.)
3. TO PROTECT US FROM OUR GOVERNMENT!!!
