Without a doubt, anyone saying that you don't "need" a gun, is unequivocally wrong. Like the meme says, they were not coming back from a hunting trip when the wrote the 2nd amendment.

Yes, back then, having a gun literally meant life or death, for almost every settler. You need to eat, right? Again, this is not what they were thinking when they wrote 2A.

It is said that the revolutionists back then were resisting the most powerful military might on the planet. This is true in almost every sense. The only thing we had to our advantage was how long it took them to get here. Had they been located as close as Canada, or Mexico, there would not be an America today. It taking them so long to get here also limited the amount of men and munitions that they could get here each trip. That made every weapon that we had invaluable. This, I believe, is what made the framers language for 2A the way it was.

Let's take it apart and examine it.

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

A well regulated Militia

This is what we today call a national guard. Those that bond together, under arms, that are not regulated by local governments, are not militia, no matter what their name says.

That said, there is nothing in the 2nd amendment that says that the people cannot have any weapon that the national guard does. This could even include tanks, and planes. One of the framers was asked, I cannot remember who, at the moment, whether or not a person could own a cannon, and they responded that they could see no reason why not.

Being necessary to the security of a free State

If you are going to be able to be free, you have to be free to stop those that would stop you from being so. Hitler, Lenin, and Mao are proof of this. The day you let them take from you the thing you need to stop them from taking away your life, for their needs, is the day you no longer have a life. You may still be alive, but you won't have a life.

By the way, you are nearly 10 times more likely to die in a hospital, due to medical malpractice, than by any incident involving a long gun. Fact check me on that.

The right of the people to keep and bear Arms

I know how many people talk about where the coma is in this amendment, but I want to focus on where it is not. "to keep and bear". This means that you should not only have one, but make sure everyone knows you do. If someone is thinking of doing a criminal act, and they look around, and see everyone has a gun on their hip, they might, at least, pause.

And finally:

Shall not be infringed.

This is the most important phrase in the entire amendment. Any law, regulation, or limitation, that have been made on guns, or any other form of self defense, is inherently unconstitutional. We must all fight to reverse this. This includes red-flag laws, bans on conceal and open carry, and any and all bans on accessories, including those that make a gun a machine gun.

If you think that the Framers only meant for guns to be for hunting only, just read this excerpt from the Federalist papers No. 28.

"If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, and which against the usurpations of the national rulers, may be exerted with infinitely better prospect of success than against those of the rulers of an individual state. In a single state, if the persons intrusted with supreme power become usurpers, the different parcels, subdivisions, or districts of which it consists, having no distinct government in each, can take no regular measures for defense. The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair. The usurpers, clothed with the forms of legal authority, can too often crush the opposition in embryo. The smaller the extent of the territory, the more difficult will it be for the people to form a regular or systematic plan of opposition, and the more easy will it be to defeat their early efforts. Intelligence can be more speedily obtained of their preparations and movements, and the military force in the possession of the usurpers can be more rapidly directed against the part where the opposition has begun. In this situation there must be a peculiar coincidence of circumstances to insure success to the popular resistance."

Even PolitiFact agrees:

Biden said that from the start, the Second Amendment "limited the type of people who could own a gun and what type of weapon you could own."

The Second Amendment limited government power, not the rights of individuals. Laws at the time that limited firearm ownership were primarily racist, aimed at controlling Black people and Native Americans.

Broadly, gun regulation came decades after passage of the Second Amendment when gun technology changed. The first national gun regulation law did not rely on the Second Amendment.

We rate Biden’s claim False.

It has long been said that the reason that a country, say China, has not attacked the US is because 'there is a gun behind every blade of grass'. There should be three. This is also the reason our own government taking so long to try to get us to a totalitarian state. They fear the people, as the 2nd amendment was designed to do.

What all this means is; while you can, buy more guns, ammunition, and accessories. You would be surprised how important a good knife is.
