The intent of the 2nd amendment was for states to maintain a military force that could be easily called on. George Washington used the national guard to put down rebellion of American citizens. It was never about government oversight.
Yeah, and the Supreme Court was never intended to solve Constitutional conflicts, either. The purpose of things changes over time, and I'm pretty sure the hero who brought this CEO to justice didn't ask whether doing so was really what the founding fathers meant when they said 'a right to bear arms'.
