Didn't Thomas Jefferson believe the constitution should be re-written every 20 years? Something along the lines of 'the dead should not rule the living'. Why do people in 2013 have to live by rules written 240 years ago?
Times change, people change, rules change. People act like adding stricter gun control or limiting magazine sizes or registering their guns is the same as taking them away. I'm in the camp that I enjoy guns, shot them from time to time and they can be enjoyable but no one needs an AR-15 because it's only purpose is to kill people or have fun. Well one outweighs the other IMO when 20 children are shot dead within seconds. You don't need an AR-15 and 30 bullet magazine to hunt a dear, or if you do get a better hobby because you have a terrible shot.
There is a happy medium to all this to keep people safe while still having access to guns but unfortunately the NRA types don't want to compromise because "Obama is coming". You are have to remember as much as they claim to be all about their members rights their only concern is for the gun manufactures and sales. The fact the gun show loophole is still open proves that. It's not about safety, it's about sales.
Never been prouder to be a Canadian!
And please for the love of god please stop bringing up the tyranny angle of this. It's not going to happen and even if it did you wouldn't stand a chance regardless. How did France do against Hilter's Germany? Did he take away their guns first too?
