right to bear arms

The founding fathers had not seen my fellow Americans driving cars, sixty mph on the next man or woman's bumper, teenagers with beer or marijuana, behind the wheel; middle aged men in pickup trucks and slow reflexes, with beer and amphetamines, behind the wheel; soccer moms with multitasked lists for their multitask lists, on the cell phone, behind the wheel; and of course: can you say ROAD RAGE...sooo if they act this way with their cars, a State licensed but dangerous instrumentality, why should I trust them with handguns [as an idea i would describe it in two words: IN SANE]. Yet, the wise justices of our Supreme Court ( and this is only a name has nothing to do with how good they are) had enacted just such a thing, but before I get into it, next blog, maybe... back to the founding fathers. They passed the Second Amendment after the Revolution and to give rights to the men who fought the war; something they had neglected to do...the right to vote for example was limited to men who owned property or wealth of certain types or amounts, most of those fellows who shivered and starved at Valley Forge didn't qualify to vote, imagine a democracy where the citizens don't get to vote for their President...oooops... Florida... Bush Brothers...[that could be a movie sort of like the James Gang]...oh well...the right to bear arms, the militia.. if they had wanted every one to have a right to own a gun, couldn't they have just ...said so...Every man has a right from God to own a gun...they didn't; soooo wonder why the US Supreme Court finally found an individual freedom that they liked... they didn't much care for speech, or privacy, or all those freedoms lost to the WAR BY tERROR ... OK ...NEXT TOPIC ...the new right to bear arms, or how much is that armor in the window?
