bbruce...you KNOW that no one is suggesting we repeal ANY of the Bill of Rights! You are simply arguing for a lax interpretation of "keep and bear arms" Remember, that follows "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,"... When that was written, we didn't have the situation we have now. Now we have a "militia" for the security of our free state, and lots of individuals owning private weapons is not necessary! Let's have "bearing arms" restricted to the situation where they are acting as part of an official "militia".

I despair at the notion that after 250 years, people are still trying to defend what they want on the basis of their personal, subjective interpretation of a document whose authors could not possibly forsee AK-47s on street corners!

...It is not necessary to banish all guns in order to have sane gun LAWS which restrict 'some' weapons.
