OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....................................
The best way to "find out" why YOU think it was written, as the opening post asks, is to ask YOU. Damn, lefties are stupid.
fuck you
Overthrow an Oppressive Government.
Thankfully, we had a Election. And even though it may come to a Shoot-Out at the White House, we're all on the same side now.

The intent of the second amendment was that all able bodied and "free" (today this could be taken to mean those of sound mind and not having a violent criminal record) adult Americans should have, own, and know how to use military grade individual weapons like assault rifles, pistols, or a machinegun. The intent was that in time of national crisis or war such Americans would organize themselves into local "militias" without the government's need to interfere in that happening and they would then defend their communities.
In realistic terms, the Swiss model is very similar to this where every able bodied adult male is issued an assault rifle to keep at home and is additionally issued ammunition annually by the government to practice with. Shooting clubs, and other quasi-military activities are encouraged as well. If the nation is invaded, then everyone takes up arms to defend the country.
Possession of arms outside this are for practical purposes like self-defense, defense of one's home, or hunting. That's an extension of "the militia" idea.

You being a spoon in the dining utensil drawer doesn't lend that much credibility.

Why did you think the reply was referring to you?

Just pointing out the absurdity of Pinktacoman's reply...

Sure but it wasn't referring to you.
The original wording of the 2nd Amendment, as written by Madison, included a conscientious objector clause. There is only one reason for that. Because it was written in the context of military (militia) service. Some of the reference to militia service is still there.
When the phrasing of all the Amendments was considered and modified, for some reason the Senate committee removed that portion. At that time, the Senate did not retain records of their proceedings like the House did, so nobody knows why.

I don't at all. I'm just being a combination of bombastic, snarky, and sarcastic.
