No, the original intent was to ensure that slave owners could form militias to prevent slave revolts. The Founders were well aware of the inability of militias to stand against a professional army as consistently demonstrated in the American Revolution.
Yeah, if the colonies' professional army hadn't been able to defeat King George III's militias, we'd all be speaking English now.
The original intent was to prevent the government from having too much power by ensuring that citizens could form militias. Having arms available to everyone (not just the government's army) was an essential part of being able to raise a militia.

That may well be true, but has nothing to do with Murdoch buying Time-Warner.
...President Biden.
They'd be giving Joe the advantage of incumbency in the 2016 election and if they didn't get Obama out before the middle of January of 2015, Biden would be eligible for two full terms plus the remaining 2 years of Obama's second term.
TWC got spun off from Time-Warner and is a separate company.
