The second amendment is a doomsday provision, designed to allow the citizenry to depose the government. It anticipates some resistance to that overthrow by officers of the government or the army.

The whole point of the amendment is to have the citizens armed as close as possible in equality with the military.

The weapons most protected by the second amendment are military grade weapons.

Let me understand what you are saying... Joe Citizen needs an assault weapon just in case he has to overthrow the government?
