It was designed for you and me to protect us from a tyrannical government that might come to power from that date forward. It was a very dangerous decision for us.

The 2nd Amendment appears to me, without interpretation, to mean that the people have the right to keep, bear and lawfully use firearms for the defense of person, family, home and community and other lawful purposes, which is a fundamental, necessary and unalienable right, written in the Bill Of Rights. The Bill Of Rights is not so much, a right of the people, though it is, but a prohibition forbidding, preventing or stopping the empowered government from doing anything to the people from where the government derives it's power. In other words, the Bill Of Rights protects us from government getting out of hand and evoking bad laws upon the people.
