Yes I have! But they are certainly not the only documents to which one might seek consultation when it comes to constitutional interpretation! You may need to read more widely.

I've already read the Communist Manifesto and it didn't change my views on the RTKABA.

Well, I hoped to have a debate regading the veracity--in light of evidence--that an armed citizenry could protect its liberty from a determined tyrant. It seems in the face of a modern army that it could not (only the most obstinant will refute this point).

I had further hoped to consider whether 1) this revelation undermined the argument against registration 2) gun tracking in the interest of law enforcement and crime prevention might be defeted by a reasoned argument. To my mind it has not.

Sadly this has degenerated into a 2nd ammendment debate where, rather than engage an argument about the societal benefits of guns, the pro side simply assert a right to close the debate.

I wanted to see how long it would take: Less than 100 posts!
Congratulations to you open minded freepers!
