Guns for Hunting People Are Different: Legislation Should Reflect That

[AndyA]

45. So the intent of the founders was to allow mass murders of children in schools?

Given the other rights they documented, I don't think so.

Perhaps the founders didn't envision a day when society would tolerate the senseless murder of innocent people. They did, however, allow for a legal process to change and update when necessary.

It's become necessary. The founders did not go to all the trouble to bring about a new country with freedoms and rights for its citizens just to have it undermined by groups like the NRA, which is what has happened.

They did recognize the right to life. Without life, there is no need for any other rights. The right to life trumps 2A rights, and it's up to our government to protect the right to life, for a change.

Things are changing right now with the public perception of gun ownership, and with every mass shooting, they will continue to change. Eventually our elected representatives will realize if they want to keep their jobs, they will have to respond to the public instead of catering to the NRA as they have been.
