The Laws Of Guns

 

Originally, people thought of guns as guaranteeing our freedoms. That is the entire spirit of the Second Amendment.

However, it seems as if our society sees them and uses them as instruments of various forms of anarchy and subversion of the social peace.

I cannot believe that if the Framers of the Constitution were confronted with these absurdly repetitive killings by fire arms they would have phrased the Second Amendment the way they do, for they would have realized that the guns were being subverted out of the context of political freedom and its guarantees into some terrible punctuated and occasional social self-genocide.

The Second would have been vastly different.
