It’s interesting that both sides, even back then, used the same argument.I guess there is nothing new under the sun.

“But our situation is represented to be so critically dreadful, that, however reprehensible and exceptionable the proposed plan of government may be, there is no alternative, between the adoption of it and absolute ruin. My fellow citizens, things are not at that crisis, it is the argument of tyrants.” Samuel Bryan “Centinel” Oct. 5, 1787 - Anti Federalist

FTA: Founding Father James Madison, main author of the Constitution, had it right when he said, “Crisis is the rallying cry of the tyrant.”

People who think they’ll stop the illegal use of guns by expanding background checks which criminals will respect are about as stupid as those who believe bootleggers checked for the legal age of those to whom they sold booze......
