The Founding Fathers had a great distrust of a strong central government. They had just fought a bloody civil war to oust one. To protect ourselves against a tyranical government was the reason that the 2nd Amendment was placed in the Constitution. Military type weapons were EXACTLY the type of weapons that the Founding Fathers meant for the people to have.
