Is your local paper full of "writings of the founders" letters? [View all]

Since Sandy Hook we have received a ton of letters containing supposedly pro-any-gun sayings from the Founders.

So now I have to ask: how do we take words written in an era when the nation had three and a half million people, no money for an army and the possibility of being invaded by the monarchy we threw out six months ago, and make them work in an era when 300 million people live here and 30,000 people die by gun violence every year?
