My last (since kicked-to-the-curb) anti-2A friend used to love asking me stuff like "Oh, so if I can find/buy a fully-functional tank, I should be allowed to own it?"

My answer ("yes, and good luck with that") used to drive her nuts.

I probably count as "extreme" where 2A is concerned.

Let me be clear. IMHO, the 2nd is not about hunting, it's not about self-defense... It's about ensuring the populace has sufficient weaponry ("militia" grade) to ensure we can say "Oh no you dint!" to the gubmint and stand our ground. I know anti's love to cite the 'need for a militia' preamble as some sort of diminishing factor. Myself, I love the 'need for a well-armed militia' preamble. To me that says it exactly. We -exactly- are entitled to have military-grade weapons.

The founders weren't worried about our ability to feed ourselves or fend off home invasions. They were worried about tyranny.
