So then the answer is to get rid of the rule of law when it comes to guns? Sorry, I can't accept that. I'm all for people who are responsible enough to use guns safely and correctly having them, but there has to be some sort of control in place. There was no such thing as a repeating rifle (or even a rifle that didn't require great effort to screw the slug down the barrel) or a revolver, and I don't think that they ever envisioned vast amounts of firepower in the hands of the average joe. Remember that they didn't even trust the average joe with the right to vote in the original version of the Constitution.
