Ha, ha, ha: Good grief: You've mistakenly reinforced his point!
The world has changed since the 18th century. It's the duty of our lawmakers to recognize that and deal with practical, serious problems, like gun violence. This notion that we should tolerate DAILY mass shootings, kids being murdered in their schools, rampant gun violence, because of a recent interpretation of the 2nd amendment--which has been interpreted in the opposite way in the past and SHOULD be interpreted in the opposite way because it quite clearly puts gun ownership in context of local militias that don't exist anymore and have no need to exist--is insane. Do we want to protect the public from gun violence or continue to ignore a massive problem so some yahoos can play sheriff-wannabe? Tough decision! Hell, in the last week there has been a raft of innocent people shot by gun nuts because they knocked on the wrong door, got into the wrong car, kicked a ball into the crazy neighbor's yard, etc. We sadly have people who are ok with having an uncivilized, dangerous country because they're uncivilized themselves.
