The purpose of the Second Amendment was, first and foremost, to make sure the people always outgunned the "government." That was also the reason they opposed a standing army. Apparently you WANT the ruling class to greatly outgun the people. Why is that? And if you think people are helpless against a modern army if they only have "small arms," you need to read a history book. Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq immediately come to mind.

Bingo. I feel like Illinois recent ban of guns over 50 ounces was an attempt to make sure no one would be "heavily armed".
