Good one!

I want a bazooka. Thomas Jefferson told me I could have one.

You know... Mr. High Plains Drifter
If you are nice I'll tell you the next time I'm in Spokane

That's right, he did. Or do you think he meant the people should fight bazookas with single shot muzzleloaders?

Serious question: If they had to re-write today, do you think it would be exactly the same?

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Technology is technology......our founding fathers wanted us to have whatever the government has to retain our liberty.

It's so easy even Cleets got dis.....

I admit that's a good argument.

So it would be written exactly the same?

I don't think anything written 200+ years ago would be written exactly the same today. But that's a non-starter.

Do you think the founders didn't believe the world would change?

I'm really not sure what you're getting at here. I would say they did as "Arms" to me leaves it open ended to mean whatever is the weapon of the day.

Yes, I'm sure 89 thinks the founders thought the world would never change and be exactly like what it was in 1787.

You're always calling me radical... but, even the most conservative judges believe the Second Amendment is limited - that weapons that are "most useful in military service" may be banned (Scalia in Heller).

Is that so novel? I mean, the 1st Amendment isn't unlimited (Schenk).

[Skjellyfetti]

No. It's not novel at all. That's my point.

89 thinks that citizens should be able to have "whatever the government has." That's a pretty radical position for someone that thinks he's just a bit right of center.

I think everyone has positions that are further left or right than they are. I voted for gay marriage in my state, does that mean I'm actually left of center?

I don't own guns, never have, probably never will. But that doesn't mean I don't think anyone shouldn't. There is no point to the 2nd Amendment if you are only allowed to be armed with a pea shooter while the state is armed with bazookas.

I don't think the leaders of today could come together enough to write anything like the original?

There had to be give and take, and a will to thrive as a country.

A need for a limited central government, with many rights and protections for the citizens.

Lots of luck with our "evolved" thoughts of today.

I have a mancrush today.

So ricin and mustard gas should be legal?

So in hyperbole, we should all have muskets?

Agreed. But FYI, the state isn't armed with bazookas. Hasn't been since early Nam..Carry on..

Pretty sure our military doesn't have/use that, so yeah.
