Best Answer

The 2nd amendment, which provides the right to bear arms, was written to protect the people against their own government. As all governments move towards complete control, our fore fathers want us to be able to rebel, and over throw a tyrannical government when it grew to large and controlling. The only way it could do this, is if the general public was armed.
