So with the fact that the 2nd amendment was written in 1791 is there anyone that thinks perhaps this needs to be updated and altered to accomodate for todays weapons, and world?

I am sure many sheeple and socialists, and communists do.... but I do not.
The right to bear arms is a "no brainer" if you intend to remain independent.

I mean if we are to take an open interpretation of this it should be legal for me to go out and buy an Apache helicopter and all of the munitions needed to fully arm it. I should also be able to drive to work in a tank if I so choose, and carry fully automatic assault rifles anywhere I go.

Perhaps you should do a bit more studying on Constitutional fact, history of the armed forces, and the role of individual rights and philosophy in the U.S.?

Is it possible that perhaps this amendment is a little outdated and doesn't match what the United States is anymore?

Yes, that is possible, but that is due to treasonous abridgments of rights by lawmakers, and the 157 years of monopoly on politics by the bi-partisan scham. The Rights and philosophy of individual liberty are as true today as they were in 1791, it is the people who have failed to keep government within its Constitutionally limited sphere of authority, which is now taking the natural course it has set, which will be fragmentation of the nation, or revolt, eventually.

Try starting a milita and stockpiling weapons, you will have the government come down on you like a rock in a puddle of water.

Obviously you have never tried?

There is no way that any citizens could honestly attempt to defeat the US military which is controlled by the government in armed combat.

How old are you? What is your military experience? What is your tactical knowledge of warfare and battlefield tactics?
You are tragicly misinformed.

When it was written, the soldiers had the same weapons as the farmers, I would have to say that this is no longer the case,

When it was written there WERE NO SOLDIERS, NO MILITARY, and NO TOLERANCE for such a thing.
Have you ever studied U.S. History?
