I agree with William Sullivan, the author, and the FRiends
who posted. However, the article and most of the posts
are unnecessarily tortured. Why trifle with Alexander
Hamilton and Federalist #29? I’ve posted this many times
but I’ll do it again. The Father of the Constitution is
considered to be James Madison, the other main author
of the Federalist Papers. In Federalist #46 Madison tells
us how the cow ate the cabbage when it comes to
Americans owning firearms.I detect a slight gloat in his
tone when comparing Americans to other. The money shot
is toward the end so you might want to look up the
Federalist #46 At Wikipedia. To me this blather regarding
Fed #29 is a side show.
Agree completely that Federalist 46 is more on point than 29.
It’s actually Hamilton that wrote it, though.
