The Second Amendment is argued to provide a means to protect against tyranny. Dismissing this concern ignores historical precedents, and owning effective firearms like semi-automatic rifles is seen as a necessary safeguard.

Can firearm bans prevent criminals from obtaining 'assault rifles'?

No firearm ban can guarantee that criminals will not access 'assault rifles.' Therefore, the argument is made that law-abiding citizens must possess these firearms to maintain an advantage against those who would misuse them.
