Here is the Antis logic; " the second amendment was written when there were muskets, the framers never intended it to include assualt weapons, automatic weapons etc". See, so you really arent supposed ot have those.
Okay, lets apply their logic to the 1st Amendment: there was only the press as in written word and books; the TV, Radio, computer, internet etc were not invented then and they would never have envisioned what is on those media now and never intended for free speech to go that far...... I bet the NYT and their ilk would not stand for that. Funny how the Antis champion the right of free speech at all costs.
Treblig,
If we ignor our past we are doomed to repeat it. While we must look to the future to seek solutiuons, we must remember the past to inspire us to seek these changes.
Just as we dont show what the terrosists did on 911 on TV anymore. And schools dont show the video of what our enemies did, not it is all but forgotten. Dont say it isnt. we push those unpleasant things to the back and ignor them. when was the last 911 anniversary special you saw on TV where they showed the planes impacting. Too graphic they say. BullS@#$!!!! hell, most Americans have almost forgotten we are at war. Most think we are doing counter terrorism.
We cannot forget what happened and we must move forward at the same time. Ignoring the past does not change the fact that it happened; taking what happened and learning from it will help us in the future.
