I agree.
I have had guns or been around them all my life. Evenso, in light of the latest massacre, do not feel threatened at all by discussion of limiting military style rifles that can fire round after round with 30 rounds or more magazines, or handguns that fire more than 10 rounds with one clip. Weapons have evolved a great deal in the 200 years since the founding fathers wrote the Bill of Rights, and people are no longer dependent on their weapons for hunting or answering the call of the militia to repel and indian attack.
Shotguns, rifles, and pistols in the house are fine. All of the other interpretations of the 2nd Admendment calling for no restrictions at all on what one may possess are the reflections of a very narrow manner of thinking. In fact, almost abherant.
In light of 9/11, I do not feel threatened at all by discussion of limiting Muslims who can blow up airplane after airplane.
The demographics of America have changed a great deal since the Founding Fathers wrote the Bill of Rights, and we are not dependent on Muslims.
Protestants, Catholics, and even some Jews are fine. All other interpretations of the First Amendment calling for no restriction on religion at all are the reflections of a very narrow manner of thinking. In fact, almost aberrant.
