This Jon Green kid is misinformed. The main reason the Founding Fathers included the 2nd Amendment in the Bill Of Rights was because of their recent and bad experiences with the tyranny of the English government and king. They wanted a way for the citizens of the US to counteract any tyranny of that kind if it ever materialized in the government in their new country.

But I give the guy a one time pass for his stupidity. He's "Green" (pun intended) and wet behind the ears. He just graduated from college last year. When I graduated from university 46 years ago, I was a dumb f*ck too.

I think you are being naively generous. The biographic note at the end indicates that he was an active supporter of Obama. That could, of course, mean misinformed: but given the complete ignoring of the actual history involved, coupled with that active support for one pledged to "change" America, I would not give him that pass.
