I witnessed the 1997 North Hollywood (California) bank robbery. Heavily armed, and shielded, bank robbers were able to inflict heavy damage on police officers responding to the call.

The point is that this particular freedom is eroding and it's perfectly okay with some as long as it can be justified.
To answer your point, I don't believe that the second amendment is the only thing. I believe it is the first of many components which guarantee our rights and the last method of forcing them.
Isn't it interesting how opponents of purist 2nd amendment ideology invariably cite criminal behavior to illustrate their position? Same tactic used by the libs to seize my rights in '93.......
