[quote=solamelike] It pretty much says all American citizens can have guns though right? [/quote] No. It says they all have the right to have one. Not that they should. Either way, the constitution, and specifically that part, was written at a time when we faced a direct threat from the English. It was necessary to have civilian militias, in the event that they would try to take over again. But it's not necessary anymore. Still, people keep pointing to the constitution as if it's a holy book of some kind, to justify why they have a dozen assault rifles under their bed. That or they bring up the "we gots to be ready for tyranical gubmnint!". As you said though, an assault rifle isn't going to help you against an armored truck. That's why I made the drone joke. If the government wanted to turn on the people, no amount of ARs is going to stop them. So arguing that it would is just plain silly to me.
