  1. The founding fathers of America, particularly Thomas Jefferson, studied these ideas of John Locke, and thought they were the key to a good constitution. Obviously, the idea of the American Revolution itself is given merit in Locke's theory. When thinking about how important it was for the colonies to be able to revolt, they added in the Second Amendment. The right to bear arms guarantees that if we ever had a government denying us our life, liberty, or property (think: the Boston Massacre, the quartering of soldiers) we could do the same as the founding fathers and protect our rights ourselves. The reason for the Second Amendment is anything but sinister. Americans have the right to own guns so that if the government ever becomes oppressive, we will be able to do something about it. If we had no weapons, there would be no possible way for us to protect ourselves from an inevitably powerful government. Of course, I'm not advocating for an armed overthrow of the government, but if we ever did find ourselves in an overwhelmingly oppressive society, we could do something. Petitions will not protect you from Big Brother. Neither will peaceful protests or boycotting. The only insurance we have for our own protection against the government is their inability to take away the right to bear arms. Think about that next time a leftist politician advocates for banning guns.

  2. But at the end of the day, the primary purpose of the Second Amendment is not so that you can secure your dinner. It’s so that you can secure your inalienable rights, from a tyrannical government like Biden’s, a sick man.

  4.  @charlesclaridy8646  Correct, remember the Military have sworn to defend the Constitution , that means the 2nd Amendment as well, I’m sure the Military know a tyrannical government when they see one, they would also want to get rid of it.
