Sure, but someday you may have to defend yourself against your
government
and hence the second amendment. The writers of the constitution
were well
aware of this potential and thus they planned for it.

People can (and do) debate the intent behind the 2nd amendment. But
do you
(or anyone else) seriously think that the kinds of arms we are
permitted as
US citizens provide ANY serious potential for defense against our own

government?

I know I don't. If that was the intent, the protection intended has
long
been voided.

If a Cessna 152 scares the **** out of them just turn up with a 747 and
they won't stop running until they get to Canada.....
