Richard Doofus has an upside down understanding of the purpose of the 2nd.
The founders clearly wanted the people to have the means to resist and change the government they were setting up if it should become tyrannical. Our Declaration Of Independence says we have the right to alter or abolish. The people would not have the means if the government controlled all the guns.
They did not want all guns in the hands of the government, quite the opposite.

Somebody needs to tell that to Trump. He's all for the 2nd amendment, but for all the wrong reasons (he says people should be able to have guns to defend themselves from conventional criminals because police can't always respond in time), AND Trump has said he supports longer waiting periods to buy guns.

I know, it doesn't have anything to do with Dreyfuss, but it does have to do with acknowledging and respecting the 2nd amendment's REAL purpose. That it flies over Dreyfuss' head is one thing; that it flies over Trump's head is much more serious.
