These are the moments that the 2nd amendment was written for. Right to bear arms is meant to prevent tyranny.

Years ago, 2A republicans would scream about how "the first thing the nazis did was come for the guns!!!" Now that the right appears to be aiming to take guns from liberals, that's for some reason totally different, and entirely unrelated.

It was so the US could raise an army when needed since our constitution banned having a standing army at the time. Though the whigs liked it for the reason you state, they were only one of the political parties that contributed to the 2nd amendment.

You are believing a myth. You have not experienced automatic weapons, the United States military has automatic weapons.
