In my line of work, I've taken care of many elderly people. I noticed 15 or 20 years ago that nearly everyone born before the depression, those whose grandparents would have remembered people who were there in the early days of our nation, understood completely the notion that the power to overthrow or protect oneself from a bad government was the reason for the 2nd Amendment. Also, one has the right to protect oneself, family, & property. The next generations starts to get fuzzy on the concept, and it's been diluted into nothingness as time progresses.
