Recently I heard a very well known Conservative talk show host saying that the Second Amendment was never intended to protect us from The Government. It’s odd that nearly every quote from the framers I have found seems to state that, in addition to protecting your home, family, and property from thieves, murderers, and foreign invaders, that is it’s exact purpose.
Thomas Jefferson:
“[W]hat country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.”
