Subject: RE: BS: a 1764 view of gun control
Lets also keep in mind that the language in the 2 nd ammendment regardling the right to bear arms was tied to the right to arganize a militia...
In 1764 that meant takin' up arms against the Brits should they come back fir another round...
It didn't mean an 1`8 year old kid owning an assault rifle that puts out so much fire power that had the colonisty had such a weapon in 1776 then the war would have lasted a week or two...
