All one has to do is understand WHY the Second Amendment was added to the Bill of Rights. Simple but very important.

Exactly. The chief reason (but not the only reason) we have the second amendment is that the Founding Fathers understood the dangers of having all power in the hands of a central government. Having something to resist an all-powerful, tyrannical government is why we, the common citizens, have the right to own firearms.

Foreigners and liberals (often the same thing) simply can't understand that concept. They simply can't believe their own, wonderful government would want to tyrannize them. Until the day happens, and their gov. does tyrannize them.
