. . . Obviously you can't just make it legal to kill your countries leaders so to argue that their are no laws to support this, thus that was not the original intents is pretty futile. The point is that the right to own guns, form militias, and basically everything in the bill of rights was there to give the people the necessary abilities to keep government in check proactively and when the time comes. People are so inept at putting things into context it is unbelievable. We are talking about documents written by men who believed they were being persecuted by their government, they voiced these opinions and formed militias and effectively overthrew the government of their time. Now we would call them terrorists. That said it is pretty obvious that when they wrote the bill of rights they wanted to make sure that people would be able to do what they had done if and when the time came. So don't act like times change or that's not what they meant. These men wrote the most perfect roadmap to a society and government and it is to them we owe the greatness which they enabled this country to achieve. They knew exactly what they were doing. To this day there are countries all around the world whose leaders persecute their people and it often becomes necessary for the civilians to take up arms and the american gov. and military often supports these people. So don't tell me we live in different times. We live in a different country because our founders designed it so that we wouldn't have to wait until things got so bad.
