are correct, at this time we are not fighting to keep ourselves from a tyrannical government. However, the Second was put in place NOT FOR HUNTING, but to protect our freedoms from those who would want to strip them away. The right of the people to rise up and use force to keep a government in check. Assault weapons are in the hands of our military, our government, therefore must be in the hands of those who might someday need to stand up to tyranny. Remember, Hitler was ELECTED...our forefathers put measures in place in our country to ENSURE something like that doesn't happen here. Just look at Syria, Iraq, Iran...do those individuals need assault weapons to fight their governments...don't say it could NEVER happen here. I'll keep my guns to ENSURE it doesn't have a chance!
