Jumping into this 19 pages deep but regardless of what anyone else thinks the 2nd amendment is for the founders intended the 2nd amendment to protect citizens from a tyranical government. Either an outside one such as king george england, WW2 germany/japan or our OWN goverment.
It was written at a time when king george(the tyrant) was restricting the colonist from having firearms so they could not rebel from his policy making.
Keeping in mind what they wanted was for citizens to protect themselves from government then preventing citizens from owning things such as military grade weapons is a violation of the 2nd amendment.
And if you dont think goverment today is tyranical then youre turning a blind eye to the subject. Go rewatch the videos posted from the wallstreet protests. Or my favorite is go search "corrupt police" on youtube and spend several months watching all of those videos.
If you dont think that government is corrupt and getting more so then nothing will convince you.
