Our founding fathers approved of us owning guns, for protection and other things. They felt we were more advantaged than others. Do you agree?

Here is a quote from the Federalist Papers...
"Besides the advantage of being armed, which the
Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the
existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached
and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against
the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a
simple government of any form can admit of." --James Madison, Federalist
No. 46, 1788
