Good read. I brings up the question of evolution of weaponry!!
Did the founding Fathers even imagine, in their wildest dreams, the advancements in weponry we have witnessed in the last 100+ years. They had no 'repeating' armes when they draftded the 2nd! At that time the military and hunting arms were basicly the same.
Even through the Civil War there was very little to any difference between the arms of the 'armies' and the the 'civilans'.
It was not until the use of smokeless powder and 'machine' guns until the weapons took on two very differnt complections!
When the weapons were basicly the same the idealogy fit. When the weapons changed it changed the 'reality' factor and thus the application of the 'ideal'.
When the weapons/tools of both military and civilians were the same the literal or ideal translation of the 2nd applied. But unless you want to deny reality and human nature, you must admitt the weapons and there uses are nowhere near the same as when the Bill of Rights was adopted.
Gee Jimmy, you can see that there was no difference between military and civilian arms then, what exactly makes you think they would change their minds NOW?
Are you just thick, or don't you really understand how one must be armed today, to beat back tyrants?
Your vision would have us throwing rocks at them while they weild a single shot rifle. What is so wrong with citizens having small arms EQUAL to the military?0 -

I didn't say one way or another!
I said the development of weaponry has caused PEOPLE to look at this issue differently now than they did then.[;)]

Uh huh. Jimmy wasn't a term she used to show maturity. It was a nickname for a child. IMO mentally you are still a "Jimmy".0 -
It was a term of endearment. I guess you think we are closer than I do!![;)]
And what would you know about maturity????[}:)]0
