Thomas Moore wrote lots of good songs, such as "The Minstrel Boy. Thomas More was the one who was for eventh devilhaving the law, and had his head chopped off by Henry VIII.

Just because the people cobbling together the Unted Constitution rounded up a set of "rights" and put them down as amendments doesn't mean they all have the same universal basic and universal status. Some of them are a lot more fundamental than others, and the right to bear arms is a lot less basic than others. More especially when it gets extended to cover too wide a range of arms. It seems pretty clear that there has to be a limit on what can be possessed by anyone. (Including governments.)
