No doubt that every free citizen has the right to own a “gun.” What they don't have the right to is the ownership of semi-automatic handguns and rifles that can kill hundreds of people with ease. You want to own a gun without a license to do so? Use your muzzleloader (you in general not YOU specifically).

Do I believe the Constitution is a living document? NO. However I do believe that laws are written evolving past this document alone and that people need common sense when dealing with modern conveyances like assault weapons.

See how silly and statist that sounds? No one is saying totally unrestricted, just like few suggest that the mentally disabled and children should own firearms. But with law abiding citizens, the usurpation of our rights continue.

Changing what I SAID is something a statist and lib would do. I don’t see parents passing out assault rifles (and I take exception to even the TERM assault rifle) to their kids when they turn 16 but they have no problem chunking them in the seat of the Expedition unsupervised.

I’m sorry I don’t have the IF IT AIN’T IN THE CONSTITUTION IT AIN’T LAW philosophy that you do. I happen to think there is a need for some rules (within reason).

And as to the “horse/wagon weigh more than a Geo...” I haven’t seen a horse and wagon hit 90mph on a city street but I have seen a Geo that’s blown a red light doing that.
