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 |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
