Most laws are created because of criminals. What is strange about that? There is little need to create law for those not criminal.

How could I "drop" something I never proposed?

The old lady example merely shows that an Absolutist interpretation is not always appropriate. When her right endangers others something has to give.

Since you have used Hamilton to buttress your arguments you should know that my interpretation of the General Welfar clause is the same as his. It gives wide range to legislative action but in no way is "anything goes".

My view of guns is far different than that of the majority of Illinoisians. I like them but realise that not every weapon can be allowed to every person i.e. the 92 year old sharp shooter.

Yeah... because old people are never victims of crime and do not need to defend themselves ever.

As for the 92YO in question, accidents happen. With more training, fewer accidents happen. Kinda hard to encourage that with the MSM, liberal politicians, and power hungry lobbyists trying to demonize gun possession at every turn with lies and insinuations.
