It is unusual to see someone who leans mostly liberal to come to defense of the 2nd Amendment. I am equally amused to see that the HISTORICAL reasons for the 2nd Amendment show how appropriate it is even in the 21st century, and a good dose of wisdom that this country's fore-fathers had in penning it.

Most people think, or casually "adopt" the notion that "it can't happen here" etc. History can repeat itself if its allowed. People that criticise the 2nd Amendment usually fail to understand *why* it was put there in the first place. Latter day visions of gun toting para-militias notwithstanding, the inherent "right" afforded is paramount to maintaining liberty.
