BraveNewWorld said: James Madison is turning in his grave. He gave us a mere ten rules to ensure our freedom and they're being systematically altered and stripped!
“I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.” - President James Madison |
The second amendment was written during a time of civil war with the English. It made sense to allow people to wear arms. It however doesn't make sense to allow every nutcase firearms in the 21st century in the US.
Classic example of abusing history to fit your own needs. Well guess what, leave history to those who studied it extensively!
