This: "The Second Amendment was enacted not for American citizens to protect themselves from burglars, but so they could protect the nation from tyranny," so "who would stand to gain the most by repealing the population’s right to bear arms?" Hitler disarmed German civilians before the Gestapo started shooting everyone's Jewish neighbors and friends. How were unarmed citizens to fight the armed Nazi thugs? How many of us would just give up and die rather than fight for the right of another to live? These are thick, tangled questions.
