Well, that certainly is a walk down memory lane into the 1700's but could we slow down and take a good hard look at that picturesque scenery and examine the neighborhood...just exactly where are all of the law enforcement people that weren't around back then {per any given settlement or homestead} and let's not speak of the other dangers that one would need a weapon for: rabid animals, snakes, feeding ones family...Say MARSHAL DILLION just where were you when this country was so young???

 

Oh, that's right we were self governed and the 'need' to be armed was the basis for the gun laws at that time {or the lack there of}, at that place, at that point in our history!

 

So I ask you...can we really continue to believe that our founding fathers fully understood exactly what those words written with such sincerity would have such an impact upon today's society? Frankly, I sincerely doubt it ;)
