On a similar note, granting citizens the right to bear arms was never anticipated to be interpreted as allowing them to own military-grade weapons.

In most circumstances that is…

Ever since the Second Amendment was put in place, guns have been responsible for many problems in the United States. The second amendment gives the right of gun ownership to individuals who plan to use it for self defense. From more recent events this amendment has been shown to cause more harm than protection.
