I posit that it will be the abolute-ists in this country who sink it by impeding all attempts for rationalizing the mythologies of gun bearing rights (to the detriment of all other rights.) The first amendment h become false religious-principles based in ridiculous and faulty predictions, understandings, and reasoning, of either the founders or the present. Probably both.
The nation as it was conceived in 1789 will not survive by letting people, unimpeded, satisfy their lust for 2nd-amendment celebrations, wherein the very flesh of souls are similarly shredded.
We do not all live in one objectively factual world, because too many live in worlds of illusions and delusions.
