"Besides, all of the Founding Fathers were gun owners and they explain the right to private ownership of guns in various documents too numerous to count. "

Do I have to get my money back for those political science courses I did way back in the 1970's? Because I was taught that the amendments were not written by ALL the founding fathers but that ALL the founding fathers made provision for the SCOTUS to analyze the wording of all of the Constitution and that their "opinions" were to be the final word on what the words in the Constitution meant. I heard from E.J. Dionne a couple of days ago that Hamilton and Adams, both signers of the original document, argued just three years after they signed it about the degree of federal power it allowed.

To say that we know now what ALL the founding father's intended is a pretty silly claim. Is it not?
