Not that this is relivant to my arguement, but were machine guns invented when the bill of rights were written? Do you think the right to bear arms includes everything under the sun including explosive devices, granades, rocket launchers, and how about military tanks? Are those considered arms?
I am always amazed at this type of logic. Especially when it is used by the liberals (not calling you a liberal).
TV, radio and the internet were not invented when the bill of rights was written. But we have somehow adopted them all under the 1st amendment.
Yet if we evolve past the musket, suddenly every gun is an aberration that the Founding Fathers had no intention of ever letting people own. That thinking is completely flawed. The Founding Fathers were about PERSONAL accountability, not trying to find the greater good for the state. The idea of limiting 95% of the public because of the deviant behavior of the 5% would have been abhorrent to them.
Do not be trapped in this kind of thinking. If you institute ONE compromise it will be used to incorporate more and more. No taxes, no registrations - these are all tools that have been proven time and time again to LIMIT and eventually ELIMINATE gun ownership.
Dont be duped.
