Yeah, we should totally side with what Slave Rapists thought was a good idea 200 years ago.
So next time you get sick, you totally need to let them bleed you.
Me, I'll use anti-biotics and modern science, but you totally go with that bleeding, because that's what the Founders thought was a good idea.
John Adams didn't own slaves. Is siding with him on the second Amendment still taking the side of slaveowners?
He took the side of Slave Rapists when he let his good buddy Tommy Jefferson keep owning and fucking Sally Hemmings. "All men are created equal" my ass.
Frankly, I don't care what their thinking was 200 years ago. I will even go so far to say that when you had hostile natives, no organized police, wild animals, provisions gun ownership might have been a good idea.
But Aaron Alexis or James Holmes or Cho or Loughner or Lanza having a "right" to the same kinds of guns the military has access to, that's just fucking insane.
That's the problem in dealing in Absolutes. Freedom of Religion means you aren't allowed to sacrifice your baby to C'Thulhu. Freedom of Speech does not mean you can shout "Fire" in a crowded theatre. (Of course, theatres aren't crowded now because people are afraid of getting shot there.) Right to Bear Arms should not mean, "Some Crazy Guy can buy a gun despite hearing voices in his head and being involved in at least TWO previous shooting incidents."
Strawman. No one has ever stated that a crazy guy should be able to buy a gun. We are allowed to lock people up if they are considered a danger to society right? Criminals should be kept in prison, not released. Mentally ill should be in a hospital, not given a few pills and allowed to walk free.
