I don't think the second amendment goes far enough. If the goal of the second amendment is to defend us from a tyrannical government, the people need some more heavy weapons. Everyone needs stinger missiles, rpgs, armored personnel carriers, etc. I mean, your 9mm pistol isn't going to save you from the Abrams tank rolling down your neighborhood, nor will it save you from the mafia shooting up your house with rpgs. Giving everyone weapons like this will make everyone safer.
