The reason the founding fathers gave us the right to bear arms is that the had just broken away from a monarchy and they in their wisdom knew that an armed populous could overthrow an opressive government. The founding fathers were for a minimally intrusive government. Anyone want to give up their guns now and trust the government not to get too big? All the great dictatorships do not let the population be armed. You figure it out.
