I'm bothered that the gun control discussion distracts from the real issue.

The second amendment is meant for the citizenry to be able to bear arms in the event of a tyrannical government. Here we are bickering about magazine size and other inconsequential aspects of guns (I agree on the suppressor topic of course), but meanwhile our government has tanks, space lasers, acoustic weapons, guided missiles, submarines, etc.

Why aren't we fighting for those technologies to be accessible to our citizenry so tyranny can be fought on an equal playing field?

I want a space laser dammit!
