The Second Amendment was literally a warning built into our constitution. The Founding Fathers understood that tyranny seeps in slowly, not all at once. Take notes from Nazi Germany. Hitler rose democratically because of turmoil and a power vaccum which he rode to presidency. The thing is though, it states that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be INFRINGED, unlike the First Amendment which states that free speech shall not be ABRIDGED. Thus, this leaves it open to interpretation, and that's how the Assault Weapons Ban was passed, because the sneaky Dems fudged what the populace thought about the 2A. This is an incursion into our rights. Both the acts of 1984 and 1994 made it so that civillian weapons could no longer be on par with those of the government. Whether this was for better or for worse is debateable, but either way a successful revolt of any kind is basically impossible at this point no matter what.
