Actually I think if the people and politicians were to understand the
British really aren't coming, there wouldn't be any reason for all the guns.


As I believe the reason for the "everyone has the right to bare whatever"
evolved due to the imminent attack by the English some where around 1776? Or
close to that? So the Good Fore Fathers thought it a fine idea for the
population to "bare arms!" If only that was what they meant, it would've
been great today! :-) But they meant guns!!! 

Like I said, if maybe the population were informed by CNN or FOX NEWS
aaaaaaaaaackkkkkkkk  that the English called off the re-claiming attack
everyone might put their "weapons" in for re-cycle to plow shares! Seems a
fair enough reason.

Yep, photographer for "The American Rifleman" and others.  In the day he

used an 8x10 Deardorf.  A master of product photography, I would say.  I

recall his work since my 16th birthday present was a life membership in the

NRA.  Our Constitution is a masterpiece, and the founding fathers were

without doubt geniuses.  But, if I had a time machine, I would go back and

ask two questions: (1) Do we really need that part about a well-regulated

militia? And (2) I still think we need something in case a moron gets

elected President (the latter courtesy of the New Yorker).
