That's perposterous.

No, that's the price of freedom.

So:

A. Freedom is either 100% or 0%, there is no in between, (which, BTW, was exactly what the founders were fighting for, a balance between totalitarianism and anarchy, a balance between the rights of the individual and the rights of the community) thus

B. Private citizens should be able to own an atomic bomb. If one accidentally takes out San Diego, oops. Bummer.


You really ought to try reading, say, the Federalist Papers, or one of the many books about the Constitutional Convention. If you think the founders were extremist libertarians, you've got another thing coming.
