Subject: RE: BS: Debate: NRA good or Evil?
As I have pointed out before, the Bill of Rights is old. Especially the part about 'bearing arms'. I cannot imagine it being written that way knowing what we do now about society and considering advances in modern arms.

and ...gee..

"The Bill of Rights ENUMERATES our inalienable rights. It does NOT create them."

Such an interesting idea....it is very easy to argue that it does create them. Why is not a list of 'inalienable rights' just an opinion of one group of men at one point in history?

The rules which govern society must be tweaked occasionally as society itself changes. This INCLUDES ownership of firearms, no matter what the NRA and those who want to own firearms might wish.
