O'Reilly: "I believe in the Second Amendment, that includes rifles and handguns, so that people can protect their families..."

"Protecting their families" was not the reason for the second amendment. The second amendment is there so that citizens can overthrow a government that gets out of control and tyrannical. That is why the second amendment is there. Anybody can look it up.

O'Reilly is clueless.

Lancey, I think any intent that's not explicitly written into the constitution is always going to be debatable. And clearly our military technology has rendered obsolete the ability of small arms to overthrow our government. So if that's the only argument in favor of having them, they may as well be banned. But I believe in the personal defense argument.
