The idea was to prevent a monopoly of power by the government itself. If you limit guns to being "less" than the guns "they" will or may use against you, then you defeat the utility of the second amendment.
People HAVE (even though the law has infringed upon that right) the tight to own guns with as effective assault and defense capacity as the government troops.
When you allow the government to curtail RIGHTS, you tread a slippery slope. aYou have already allowed the government to erode:
-Freedom of speech (in the name of preventing hate speech - people SHOULD be allowed to say whatever they want)
-Protection against unlawful search and seizure (the IRS needs no warrants, if the government invokes the anti-terrorism act, they need no warrants,
-your right to council and your protections guaranteeing due process are gone (the GOVERNMENT now determines if you are worthy of those rights - in other words... you have no right anymore)
-you have no privacy (every word and message you type is catalogued and archived in Utah by the NSA... no due process, no warrants... they can retrospectively "fish" for a case against you)
People need to wake up. This is no longer the country I was born into. Ben Franklin was right when he said, "a man who gives up liberty for security will find he has gained neither".
