Then there is the fact that the Bill of rights was written in the 1700s, and just like Motorized cars, Semi-Automatic guns and Assault Rifles did not exist back then. They had horse drawn carts, and single fire muskets. We make people get licenses to drive a car, why not to shoot an assault rifle?
Just some random things that are not really a big deal as far as infringing on rights. Since these things are not normal situations.
You see I am a firm believer that our founding fathers never had any intention of promising or guaranteeing security, or safety. If they did wouldn't it have been in the bill of rights? What they did promise was freedom and liberty and the overreaching gun control that is touted over and over is neither IMO.
I personally feel that the problem is not guns at all. I feel it is the lack of mental hospitals and treatment facilities. Take a look and see how many of these have closed over the last 20 years. Its hundreds if not thousands. Did they think that closing them was just going to solve the issue of mental illness? Nope but they know that the damage these people do in public costs less money then to institutionalize them. I will leave you with this. Think about all those hospitals that closed down. I can name 5 just in NY. Where did all the patients go? They didn't just get better
