Law, as with all language, is a living thing in that it is what the living use it for and as. The Constitution was written a long time ago. All the people involved are dead. We know what has changed and what is happening today, and we have to deal with it. We will either do that intelligently or not, but it will be done. Extremist stands are not going to be helpful.
Fearing one gentle old lady who expressed her opinion that the world would be better without guns is laughable. It is like she were wishing everyone would be nice and kind. Who wouldn't wish that? The evidence is that far too many are not nice and kind. One could still wish they would be.
Let me ask you a question
What if say Arizona looked around and said "you know what, look at all these people who are using violence to protest, this isn't working for us, and after all, the COTUS was written a long time ago and the founders are dead anyway so let's recognize that today we have to get rid of the right to assemble and protest. From now on, you have to have a back ground check, get a permit, and get permission from each county sheriff if you want to protest at all, and if s/he says no, tough shit?"
Would you find that acceptable? Why or why not?
