USA - The 2nd Amendment

[Kernacktur]

This is the right place for this correct? well....
What's everyone view on the 2nd Amendment? I've noticed it's one of the most controversial and (mis)interpreted Amendments in the Constitution due to the loose wording and terms. I think it should and does guarentee American citizens the right to own any weapon, well almost any tanks and nukes are a bit too much, and for both citizens and states to have militias. I believe the fore fathers saw how hard it was to fight an oppressive government and wanted American citizens to be ready to fight the next revolution if and when they had to. Luckily for us there hasn't been a need to but I think it goes along with the idea that governments should fear their citizens so that the people actually get what they want. I doubt some of the recent bills and laws taking away rights would've passed if Congress fear retribution other than protests for their actions. But that's just me. Discussion anyone?
