If enough people change their minds, the will of the people can change the Constitution. The will of the people has changed it many times already.
The people can amend the Constitution and eliminate or sharply curtail the right to keep and bear arms, which is an expression of their will.
As a responsible, pragmatic gun owner, this is not what I want and it is the reason I refuse to join and support the NRA as long as it continues with its present course of action. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
