Since we don't seem to value history very highly in this country any more, we seem to have lost perspective of what the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution means. We are a nation born of revolution. An armed militia fought against what they considered government oppression and violation of individual and civil rights. If we learn nothing else from American history, we must learn that citizens waged war against the recognized government. The salient social reality is that the government was the oppressor. In drafting the Second Amendment, the founding fathers exhibited infinite wisdom in guaranteeing that citizens would always have the means to defend themselves against an oppressive government.
The question that begs to be asked is: "Who is the beneficiary of an unarmed populace?"
