However, when that amendment was added to the constitution,
guns were far less technologically advanced and thus, far less dangerous.
Does that mean that Freedom of Speech
or Freedom of the Press do not apply to citizens on TV, radio
or those journalists who choose to use
ELECTRIC printing presses ?
(The USSC took cognizance of that in the
HELLER case.)
Does that mean that voters who have used modern voting machines
have
no right to have their votes counted ?????????

Do u mean that criminals will
not make their own guns
(as thay were made by hand, before the advent of electric tools?)
or that there is a reason that thay will not resort to the Black Market,
the same as thay never buy marijuana, nor cocaine,
and as no one
EVER bought alcohol in Speak Easys in Prohibition of the 192Os ??)
Because the citizens r so obsessively dedicated to doing
what the government
wants them to do ????

Yeah; there are
too many children !
What right do
thay have to live??
Screw
them !! (The
equal protection of the law
requirements of the Constitution shoud not be taken seriously.
Surely the Founders did not mean that mere children
have a right to defend themselves from predatory animals
nor from criminals who only wanna rob them, rape them or kill them.)

American Guns?? He is very, very good with his revolvers; formidable.

If I were a violent criminal (or a hostile dog), I 'd not want to go up against
HIM!!!)
I began my gun collection at age 8.
Possession of my first gun, a .38 revolver, invested me with a sense of serenity, calm,
security & peace of mind, tho I did not actually need to use a
a defensive gun for several more decades.
I advocate children being taught defensive gunnery tactics
for accuracy, competent defense and safety at the earliest possible age,
the same as schools teach swimming; (my high school 'd not
let us graduate without learning to swim).
I believe that to the maximum possible extent (including voting),
children shud be treated with the same respect as anyone else.
I wanted that when I was a kid.
I have applied that etiquette in their favor, as an adult.
When I was a practicing trial attorney in New York,
I accorded children the same courtesy as anyone else.

However, making a gun is much harder than purchasing one. But I understand the points you made and they definetley stand to reason.
