This is the reason for my concern.
I would still like to know why you think the framers were compelled to include second amendment protections for our right to bear arms.

Death and taxes.
Because Democracy was an unknown at the time... and they wanted to make it hard for a tyrant to take over would be my guess?
I don't disagree with their aim. However, you don't have to be clairvoyant that see that the locals are starting to get restless... which in a Democracy has real world implications. Sometimes it's simply better to bend instead of break.
Democracy was not unknown, and it was a matter of careful consideration and debate in the construction of our republic.
The founders also stated their own reasons for the second amendment before and after the constitution was ratified.
You seem to be guessing at things you should already know.
Its ironic that an uneducated guy like me would be pointing this out to you.
Anyhoo, enjoy the rest of the weekend, Im got yard work to do.

FBI: More People Killed by Hammers, Clubs than with Rifles of Any Kind

The most recent FBI crime stats show that more people were killed in 2017 with hammers and clubs than were killed with rifles of any kind.
Breitbart News reported the most recent numbers–those for 2017–on September 26, 2018. Those figures showed that 467 people were killed with “blunt objects (hammers, clubs, etc.),” while 403 were killed with rifles.
And it must be noted that the category of “rifles” used by the FBI includes bolt action, pump action, single shot, and semi-automatic, as well as those the left describes as “assault weapons.” This means only a percentage of the 403 deaths attributed to “rifles” would have been carried out with an “assault weapon.” So the gap between the number of persons beaten to death with hammers and clubs verses those killed with “assault weapons” would be even greater than the gap between those who died in a hammer/club attack versus those who died being shot with “rifles” of any kind.
Breitbart News also reported that the 2017 crime figures showed 1,591 people were killed with “knives or cutting instruments” while 403 were killed with “rifles.” This means nearly four times as many people were stabbed to death as were killed with any kind of rifle. (The gap between the number stabbed to death and the number of persons explicitly killed with an “assault weapon” would be even greater.)
Yet Democrats are pushing an “assault weapons” ban and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) says legislation for such a ban will be “front and center” when the Senate reconvenes.

What is the wait time to purchase a hammer?
Compelled?
The biggest risk to the 2nd A is gun loons insisting that the 2nd A gives them the right to do anything they want.
What did the founders have to say? I'm sure there is an obvious link to their statements.
STFU you ignorant old Loon....Don't you have
parrot to feed....stick your fingers in the cage while
yur at it....I heard " Liberal " Parrots don't bite...!
Founders saaay :
He who doesn't understand FREEDOM will
eventually be " Bitten " by the very beings they cage...!
I guess I'm just old fashioned, but I still see America as exceptional.
And to me, the second Amendment is really less about fighting off the government elect, as much as it's about how hard the path has been for "us" to get here.
The Lion = Citizens
The Human = Liberals
Which lion?

I don’t think anything is the word you are looking for.
Genius
The only way Congress can change the second amendment (change the Constitution) is to amend the Constitution.
38 of 50 states would have to agree with and sign the amendment.
Good luck with that.
