[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Bigfoot: [QB] :p How COULD they write it with the foresight of current warfare technology? I was writing my description of history from the perspective of that time period. Wasn't meaning to imply I think American Indians are not to be trusted. With hindsight we know who the aggressors were. Back then it wasn't nearly so clear. Kind of reminds you of current times eh? Bullets may or may not be less painful but penetration and lethality of the bullet itself is much more dangerous now days. That many died back in those days due to subsequent infection is immaterial but actually bolsters this assertion. When discussing gun control and the constitutions intent behind bearing arms the invention of antibiotics is a significant but irrelevant achievement to the topic itself. From the way your position is framing the right there is nothing to prevent me from putting together a nuclear bomb since the military currently has a stockpile of these items. I think you and I would both agree that argument is ridiculous and the government would find it criminal. So...there is a line. Since there is a line then the discussion turns to where is that line drawn? The current bill being considered by the senate would suggest that anyone that fulfills a selective criterion (military service) and shows any possible propensity for violence should be denied the right to bear arms. I disagree with this. It smacks of guilty until proven innocent which is counter to what America stands for. However, I would suggest that the right should be restricted to the modern equivalent to what was used when the constitution was written. That would mean shotguns and rifles principally for hunting and hand guns for self defense. Nothing automatic, nothing semi-automatic. There is no demonstrable need for these devices to be in the publics hands, nor were they in use at the time of the signing of the constitution therefore any suggestion of how the founding fathers would have reacted to such weapons is mere conjecture. Leno's on. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
