Refer to Second Amendment of our Constitution.


written 200 years ago


So were the parts about freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the
right to a trial and so on. *Do you figure all the Bill of Rights is
out of date?


Disclaimer: I'm not anti-gun (I have a CCW permit), but....
'Arms' are a little different than they were 224 years ago. At the time,
they only had single shot muzzle loading firearms.
The subject of the other freedoms have not changed as much.


So, the ability to distribute information across the entire world in
an instant, whether from satellite TV or by individuals on their own
PC
hasn't changed much from the simple printing press?


What bothers me might be the inability to distribute information
anywhere.
If we get a massive solar destruction of satellites and power, and
then
no gasoline, and no food, no hospitals, no police or ambulance, our
neighbor might become
the worst enemy. Well, I got a single shot shotgun !!!!

useless today, except for the carnage it causes


The Constitution contains a formula for amending it, so if you don't
like it as written, start a campaign to get it changed. *In the
meantime it is the law, and you don't get to just ignore it the way
the Bush administration figured it could.
