Very true. And as my dad pointed out to me during lunch, the second amendment is also in place to allow the regular citizen to protect himself from the government. He was reading from an article and if I can find it, I'll link it.

So you and my dad got me there, Amerika, my views changed on this, though personally I don't think I'll be fighting against a foreign military or my own government or my countries military, but I like that the clause is there. 'We the People' form this republic, not the government, it's there for the People.

The right to bear arms was originally written purely for the purposes of militia. It did not apply to private citizens, but as most of our laws they slowly but dramatically change over time.
For another example, go look at what the maximum annual social security contribution was originally. And see if it was mandatory or voluntary.

Hardy, p. 1237. "Early Americans wrote of the right in light of three considerations: (1) as auxiliary to a natural right of self-defense; (2) as enabling an armed people to deter undemocratic government; and (3) as enabling the people to organize a militia system."

Malcolm, "That Every Man Be Armed," pp. 452, 466. "The Second Amendment reflects traditional English attitudes toward these three distinct, but intertwined, issues: the right of the individual to protect his life, the challenge to government of an armed citizenry, and the preference for a militia over a standing army. The framers' attempt to address all three in a single declarative sentence has contributed mightily to the subsequent confusion over the proper interpretation of the Second Amendment."

Merkel and Uviller, pp. 62, 179 ff, 183, 188 ff, 306. "[T]he right to bear arms was articulated as a civic right inextricably linked to the civic obligation to bear arms for the public defense."

Regardless of the 2nd Amendment and what it means,any new laws should go through the law makers,you can't use executive orders to control guns it won't work and just inflame the situation even more.

More Ammunition for the Conspiracy Theorists.

If i was a serving soldier,i would never fire on my own countrymen,regardless of the consequences.

So you say, and yet time and again soldiers do just that.  It's only if the commanders refuse to give the order that soldiers wouldn't fire on thier own countrymen, and comanders achieve thier rank primarily by following orders.

People can say 'I would/wouldn't do this' till they're blue in the face, but until you're actually in that situation, you don't actually know, and you know that.

Piers Morgan versus Ben Shapiro.

Piers refers to the Constitution as a "little book" and calls the second amendment's purpose to defend against tyranny absurd.

[Yamato]

So also according to Piers Morgan, the last four mass media stories he's citing that happen to include assault rifles are more important legislatively and philosophically than the aggregate of gun crime.
