Just a thought here, but if the intent of the 2nd amendment is to allow the population to be sufficiently armed so that they could prevent a tyrannical government from abusing its powers, then aren't there 2 important items which the NRA and its supporters rarely consider:
1) The weaponry available to the government and available to the people in the 18th century wasn't that different. Under the 2nd amendment shouldn't the US Military be constituitionally bound to reveal and share its military technology with the people?
2) Shouldn't the price of "arms" be controlled and kept at a base minimum so that it can be available to the maximum # of people? In other words, shouldn't the manufacture of arms be a "break even" business?
