Answer: B, He believed that this amendment might be used to defend ourselves against bad governments.

Explanation: Jefferson was an avid supporter of the second amendment and the right to bear arms for several reasons, but his biggest reason was to defend against a tyrant government. This quote backs that up because Jefferson states that the strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is to protect themselves against tyranny and government.

Hope this helps.
