I hear many of the same arguments, for and against weapons. One very popular one is that the U.S Forefathers didn't imagine such high powered technology. I have to think that if they were smart enough to design such an impressive Constitution, that surely they could foresee vast advanced in technology, well beyond their current capabilities.
Is the question then, not about the technology, but about the vast change in the number of crazies? Who could imagine some nutjob grabbing a automatic rifle and attacking thousands of people for which he has no prior connection or personal debt owed? This obviously was not the intention of one bearing arms.
Even 20 years ago not many could imagine the scope of global terrorism, certainly such unbalanced individuals in society committing such a heinous crime couldn't be anticipated by many, certainly not by civilisation hundreds of years removed.
Thoughts?
