"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
A lot of arguments are made about the right to bear arms; from hunting advocates to the person wanting to protect their family from an intruder.
Nevertheless, what was the intent the founders had for protecting (not granting) the right of the people to keep and bear arms? Was it to be able to hunt/stop a home invasion or was it to protect ourselves from a tyrannical government?
If it's the later, what's a "common sense regulation"?
How would people protect themselves from an oppressive government if there are regulations that say "we can be armed wherever we go but you can only carry where we permit (give permission/privilege; oposite of a right)."
How would people protect themselves from an oppressive government if there are regulations that say "we have no limits on the firepower we can have but you can only use the type of weapons we permit (i.e. government=full-auto; the people=semi-auto)."
