And sorry but your teacher was either liberal stupid or both cause thats not what the second amendment is all about. That's more the reason why organized militias were created but not the second amendment. So sad you smart young people are so misinformed or uninformed.
The United States of America came to be out of the armed revolt of British colonialists against their own government. When the new government was founded the founders (the people who just fought off their British rulers) wanted you the American people to posses always the power to control (voting and 1st Amend.) and if necessary revolt against and remake our own government (2nd Amend.) Think I'm wrong show me a constitutional scholar that says otherwise!?
