I think most people would agree that, despite the unparralleled
intelligence
of the framers, the Constitution is a document of limited wording, and
that
it has been utilized by the Supreme Court as a basis for many decisions
that
the framers never envisioned. While I would agree that, under a free society, gun-control of any kind is a threat to my liberty, I would also agree, that we need to have a good balance between personal freedom and national security.
''They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety," observed Benjamin Franklin, "deserve neither liberty nor safety."
