You sure read an awful lot into things I didn't write, while avoiding a direct answer to what I did.

When It comes to the Second Amendment, I am a strict constructionist. But I also realize from reading a good deal of the documentation of the period (the federalist and ant-federalist papers for starters and most of the writing of the founding fathers. Not to mention the military history of the revolution), that not all things could be forseen.

I am in favor of certain limitations of certain types of weapond, but only through the amendment process. I even support the ownership of fully-automatic shoulder weapons, but would stop there.

I am in favor of concealed carry permits for anyone for anyone with proper training and no convictions for violent crime.

I am against gun registration, waiting period, etc.

Laws do not prevent crimes, law-abiding citizens with the right to carry do. laws are for after the fact.

I'd go on, but its late. Try to be a little less strident, and actually reply to specific points without putting words in peoples mouths, it makes arguing the merits of different points of veiw more enlightening and enjoyable.

good Night.
