yeah, that was pretty much the intention of the second, to be able to withstand an army of the government with state of the art (at the time) weapons.
Today, it's just so people can feel safe when they are out jogging... with extra magazines if, just in case a whole bunch of Jackie chans with guns would jump them.
I am glad i don't live in a hellhole where i need a gun readily available.
Or maybe it's just to feel gangsta, you know, tough boys with guns and extra mags is soooooooo cool.
I'm sorry but the land of the brave have become the land of the fearful and paranoid.
