Constitution 601 theory.
The basic idea behind the Second Amendment is simple. All men, now we would say all people ( dont wanna be sexist) must eat. Therefore all "people" are loyal to the hand that feeds them. Armies are paid by the king..now we say the state, therefore armies are loyal to the king -state. That, by its very nature, is a danger to popular liberity. Yet, this being earth, armies are required for the protection of the nation. So how to keep things in balance? Arms can only in the final analysis be balanced BY arms. Thus the Second Amendment. This was not meant to be in any way anti military, indeed being a soldier was considered the highest calling next to the church a man could follow. However, being educated people, they knew the history of the Roman republic and the English Republic and set safeguards for the security and liberity of the American Republic.
