Re: Obama and Guns
So you're the guy posting anachronisms on imdb.com.
when surrounded and left on Afghanistan's plains,
and the women come out to cut up what remains,
just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,
and go to your god like a soldier...

Re: Obama and Guns
Obviously, we should go by the Founding Fathers' guidance on nuclear weapons and Middle Eastern tensions.
Oh, wait, they didn't have any. They were only wise enough to know that things change and would inevitably progress beyond their sight, and write allowances for adapting to such changes into the Constitution- which is better than most.
I doubt they foresaw Jdude's Abrams.

Well, they were contemporaneous with the Puckle Gun!

Points well taken.
I do not believe, for a variety of complex reasons, that nuclear devices are protected for private ownership under the Second or any other amendment.
and Middle Eastern tensions.
I am sure we can find useful guidance, but it is not the end all to the discussion.
