(881 posts)The intent of the 2nd amendment is to keep the citizens armed as a check to possible tyranny. I'm backed up by other court cases such as the Miller decision by the Supreme Court that put short barreled shotguns under the NFA because they had no "military" purpose. Which is crap but Miller died before the decision and his lawyer never showed up so the government's side went unopposed. Here's a quote, "In the absence of any evidence tending to show that possession or use of a 'shotgun having a barrel of less than eighteen inches in length' at this time has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, we cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear such an instrument." History of gun rights in this country didn't start when you started following the issue, they've been going on a loooonnngggg time.
