>That's exactly my point. That was then. This is now. We should not be citing the 2nd Amendment as a justification for guns willy-nilly among the citizenry in the 21st century. If you think there are other good reasons, I am happy to discuss them reasonably. I just think the 2nd Amendment is a bogus argument today. It doesn't apply, IMO.
