[Vision2020] Jus' Another Day on Campus . . .

[Donovan Arnold]

Some forefathers thought we all ought to own guns, yes. They also thought we all ought to own slaves, subjugate women to men's demands, and slaughter the native people. 
 
We need to think for ourselves, and decide for ourselves and live for ourselves. Sure there are things, people, and ideas we should learn and take from the past, but they are just that, the past, people, and ideas. They are not absolute truths, Gods, or edicts. 
 
The Constitution is a living document, it was meant to be a document of the now and future not the past, and not to allow it to change and adapt to the time in which it is now, is to squelch the life out of it and render it worthless.

Oh Paul, There you go with all that Constitutional stuff again! Don't you know that there are local luminaries that KNOW BETTER than you and the founding fathers do and THEY 
will decide who can have firearms!  Besides, don't you realize that the POLICE will decide what is best if they don't? Just as the green house owner that the POLICE gunned down on his own 
property up in Spokane, or Otto Zehm!

That would be a great argument if our forefathers hadn't decided to put the right to bear arms in as the second amendment, which leads me to believe that they thought it was important.  Important enough, perhaps, that the benefit is not outweighed by the added danger of guns being used at drunken brawls at fraternities at 8am in the morning.
