Does that mean we should change what the Founders intended when creating the Second Amendment?
John Adams:
"Arms in the hands of the citizens may be used at individual discretion for the defense of the country, the overthrow of tyranny or private self-defense."
Thomas Jefferson:
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
It sounds like one of the key reasons was tyranny in government.

Where did I choose to ignore that? That's central to my whole point.
I see no writings from the Founding Fathers making a distinction between the weapons the government can/should have the the arms guaranteed by the Second Amendment.
