[QUOTE="Lisa, post: 1603568, member: 212434"] The Second Amendment was created so that the government wouldn't get to powerful and if they did and tried to enact some type of martial law, that the American people would be armed and able to revolt. Remember the people who drafted this Amendment wanted everything to be different than the Monarchist government that suppressed them from having personal freedoms and over taxed them without representation. Having their people well armed is what allowed the American colonies be able to defeat the British in the Revolutionary War. From the James Madison Biographical Library page regarding winning independence from Britain: Our Founding Fathers wasted no time in attributing this victory to the right of the people to keep and bear arms. James Madison, the father of the Second Amendment, congratulated his countrymen: "Americans [have] the right and advantage of being armed – unlike citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms."
