There are other opinions. There was such an outcry at the proposed Constitution that they were forced to modify some of it, and add the Bill of Rights, especially the Second Amend, even before it was adopted. Even with that, there is latitude for the assumption of unlimited power. Patrick Henry was extremely torqued off about the whole deal and wondered why they were writing a new constitution in the first place.
The bottom line is, the constitution was passed without some of the opposing views by the 56 representatives. I guess some weren't persuasive in their arguments to make a different constitution. Whether or not someone didn't like it at that time, isn't relevant today. The Constitution is our country's law. If it's not spelt out in the constitution, it's up for grabs as a state issue. Something totally lacking at the federal level today. They weren't very persuasive in their arguments back then to convince them the 2nd Amendment was a bad idea. I think it's a fabulous idea. It's one right we have to overthrow oppressive governments. Our framers saw what happened to them in England. Many countries are going through it today. FMCDH.
