Apparently -you- do as you claim thay if they were around today, their view on the right to arms would be very different.Do you talk often with the founders?
Nope, if I made such a claim in the heat of 'battle' I was wrong. I have no idea what a founder might believe if exposed to the 21st Century. I do know that the weapons of today and the weapons commonly in use in the 18th Century are quite different.
One might infer from that truth a sane person from the 18th century who saw a vision of Virginia Tech, the Texas Tower, 101 California St, or the dozens of other mass murders would have a different perspective. But I suspect the same arguments would occur, some back then would salivate at the thought of weapons able to kill so efficiently and other would be appalled.
One would think that a sane person from the 21st century would know that people routinely died from violence when the founders were alive.
