I also tend to agree with the founding fathers. There really is only one check against an abusive and tyrannical government: armed and informed citizens.

As for anti-tank rockets and land mines. Those aren't guns. Not even in the gun argument (now, you might argue the right to bear arms refers to any weapon. But original intent might hinder such an argument). Also a 50 cal rifle round is not tank armor piercing in and of itself.
