I read a short article about the second amendment last night that - for me - put an interesting slant on the issue. The author's premise was that the amendment was put there not to guarantee our individual right to own a gun.
His take is that the amendment was put in place to stop the government from infringing on our right to own a weapon. It has nothing to do with the weapon itself, it simply limits the actions the government can take on you for owning one. See how that turns the whole thing on it's head and still makes sense?

At least 17 military bases adjacent to Chinese-owned farmland across the US have experienced a rash of drone sightings in recent weeks. Mysterious drones have been reported near military bases in Hawaii and by installations in Utah, California, Maine and Florida — among other facilities scattered throughout the country.
There are at least 19 military bases that lie in close proximity to farmland bought up by Chinese-owned companies — a situation that has worried China analysts, who feared the Communist country would use the land to spy on US military operations.
All of those facilities apart from Grand Forks Air Force Base in North Dakota and Joint Base San Antonio-Camp Bullis in Texas had reports of drones either attempting to fly over their bases or nearby.
All this begs the question of why is there no quid-pro-quo here. How much farm land can Americans own in China itself? Absofuckinlutely zero. Nada. None. The Chicoms won't allow it. So why are they allowed here?
... Meanwhile, back in the real world (or at least the one we live in), The FBI and DHS say they may have an answer for what's behind thedrone reports over New Jersey and nearby states: absolutely nothing unusual.
"Having closely examined the technical data and tips from concerned citizens, we assess that the sightings to date include a combination of lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones, and law enforcement drones, as well as manned fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and stars mistakenly reported as drones," the agencies said. "We have not identified anything anomalous and do not assess the activity to date to present a national security or public safety risk over the civilian airspace in New Jersey or other states in the northeast."
