Those on the 2nd Amendment side often state the belief framers of the US Constitution intended the need for private arms to exist in the case of the need for the overthrow of a tyrannical government. If so, it makes me wonder what the Framers would have thought about the ability of the US Government to develop modern weaponry that currently exists and would be able to resist any such overthrow or uprising of a citizenry in a short time regarding an armed rebellion. Would the Framers have wanted the government to possess such capabilities to be used against its citizens with no hope of a citizenry uprising if our government became tyrannical?
