The people have a similar right (the one in question on this topic  )that is similarly threatened day in and day out by gun ignoramoses (sp?) and that can never be defeated in the courts and I'd bet you a million pesos we aren't about to let our rights go in the same fashion the abolitionists did. |
So basically what you are saying is that the founding fathers didn't have enough foresight to realize blacks were actually people too, but they DID have enough smarts to foresee the right to own automatic rifles that can spray 800+ bullets a second. You can't have it both ways. I personally think that they did an amazing job at that time in history, but since attitudes and technology change over the years, they left it open for amendments. The problem we have going forward is finding the right balance.

Again, I can take out more people with my car than with my .40 and I don't have to wait a few weeks to take that bitch out for murder. |
So should you be required to have gun insurance in case you accidentally hit or kill someone? You're required to have car insurance...
I've given my points about this topic in numerous previous posts, and although I have changed my opinion on a few things based on what I've read here, I still feel that there are certain weapons that just shouldn't be allowed to be sold outside of military applications.
