Jack, members don't need reminding of hoary issues of a tragically divided country, of which your posts exacerbate by not recognizing and accommodating your history and facts of the Second. Citing former Chief Justice or Toobin on the constitution as a living work doesn't make anti-gun except for zealots. They're facts.
Ed's opinion is only part of the ongoing regulatory debate as the US grapples with more guns than people, a violent history with calls for more guns for public safety. Americans haven't agreed on how to answer questions of textual literalism and rational philosophy.
Freedom to own, to carry, to carry anywhere at any time are all freedoms of collective opinions but Ed's opinion may also be bound in his first duty to himself and his community---the freedom to think for himself within any pro-gun group such as ours. Our forum doesn't share a group mentality.
