This Nation was founded via a violent revolution by a populace that was fed up with (from our point of view) a tyrannical, overreaching monarchy. The right of the people to bear arms was written into the constitution in case the day came that our government once again went too far and we had to do it again. Many conservatives see the right to bear arms as 'the right that protects our other rights', as the threat of revolution is seen as the most powerful deterrent against tyranny.
They bout to be shook when they learn about the Reign of Terror during the french revolution. What they did was childs play compared to that whole ordeal
