I don't see how limits on the number and type of firearm infringe on the 2nd Amendment.

9. That was a subset of quotes..

specifically addressing the 'one slice at a time' approach. (Well, Dukakkis wasn't quite so shy, but I thought it apropos.)

I said nothing about grenades and bombs, I was addressing the 'slippery slope' position.

“If the personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution inhibit the government's ability to govern the people, we should look to limit those guarantees.”

And…

“When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans ... And so a lot of people say there's too much personal freedom. When personal freedom's being abused, you have to move to limit it. That's what we did in the announcement I made last weekend on the public housing projects, about how we're going to have weapon sweeps and more things like that to try to make people safer in their communities.”

Both quotes from President Clinton.

We have long memories.
