That's the actual purpose of the 2nd amendment. It's why foreigners rightly look at these controversies and go "wtf?".


It does seem ass backwards when you look at it that way, but then again, many of those foreigners are in shitty communist/dictatorship countries where if you oppose the government the government will kill you.

It's the right to question the government that keeps the government more in check here in the USA.

Make no mistake, for its faults, this is the greatest country in the world. Here's a good test of that: http://www.gallup.com/poll/124028/700-million-worldwide-desire-migrate-permanently.aspx

Quote:
The United States is the top desired destination country for the 700 million adults who would like to relocate permanently to another country. Nearly one-quarter (24%) of these respondents, which translates to more than 165 million adults worldwide, name the United States as their desired future residence.
