    The people aren’t represented in the government because the government is bought and paid for by billionaires.

    This is the exact scenario for why we have the 2nd amendment: to rise up against tyranny and make sure the government serves its people, not the other way around.

      You have the second amendment because it was expensive to maintain a standing military at the time.

        We have the second amendment because it was easiest way to prevent a slave uprising.
