Yes, in fact, that is exactly what the writers of the
Constitution intended.
"No free man shall ever be de-barred the use of arms. The
strongest reason for the people to retain their right to keep
and bear arms is as a last resort to protect themselves
against
tyranny in government."
-Thomas Jefferson
"The great object is that every man be armed.
Everyone who
is able may have a gun."
-Patrick Henry
Somehow idiots think that "
the people" referred to by the second amendment are not the same people referred to in the first, fourth, fifth, sixth, ninth and tenth amendments.
And while not writers of the original document, I believe this quote says something important.
"The conclusion is thus inescapable that the history, concept,
and wording of the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, as well as its interpretation by every major
commentator and court in the first half-century after its ratification,
indicates that what is protected is an individual right
of a private citizen to own and carry firearms in a peaceful manner."
- Report of the Subcommittee on the Constitution of the
Committee on the Judiciary, United States Senate,
97th Congress, Second Session (February 1982)
And, finally, pretty much directly refuting your claim that the writers of the Constitution didn't intend for actual citizens to own guns,
"The Constitution shall
never be construed to authorize Congress to infringe
the
just liberty of the press or the rights of conscience; or to prevent
the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping
their own arms."
- Sam Adams, Debates & Proceedings in the Convention of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 1886-1887
Thank you, and good night.
