The ...Thorny issue, as you so eloquently write it.<br /><br />The thing is, the Second Amendment wasn't put in place so that hunters would be able to kill deer, or so that target shooters would be able to destroy skeet. It was put in place specifically so that folks would have something at hand with which to fight government force. Unless common folk had weapons, any talk of revolution was going to be just that - talk. Government could quash uprisings at whim if they held the only weapons of any might.<br /><br />Of course, those who wrote The Bill Of Rights didn't envision the weaponry available in this day and age. So the question becomes would they have written limitations into the amendment had they known? I doubt it, but who knows? We can't ask them!<br /><br />Of course, it would be so much easier if everyone were sane!<br /><br />Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.com
