There are all kinds of "reasoning" out there. Sadly, this author isn`t a minority in this thinking, there seem to be plenty who 1). Believe the Constitution is either outdated, or else is a "living document", and, or, 2). The Second Amendment is only relegated to a state-sponsored militia. We believe both of these notions to be false, based on the writings of the Founders, as well as the result of real-life experience. It seems that, if, and when presented with factual data, the non-gun owning public usually sides with law-abiding gun owners and the Second Amendment, and that`s encouraging. We need to do everything we can to educate those who are willing to trade individual liberties for a feeling of security, as well as any who don`t understand that the Constitution is built to protect the rights of individuals from the mob majority. It`s probably a natural progression, or regression as the case may be, that as more people live in cities, and less in rural areas, that as less people, and especially kids, are exposed to hunting, that many believe firearms and firearms ownership to be both antiquated, and unnecessary. The Constitution is not taught in school any longer, and for many years, people have been tutored under the liberal agenda that states that our elected employees are the government, rather than We the People. Hardly anyone understands, or ever talks about the proper role of government, and about how the Framers intended the Constitution to constrain government, to protect the freedoms and liberties of citizens of America. Government is out of control, and looks nothing like what the Founders intended.
Back on point though, we have to keep trying to educate those who differ from us in regards to firearms, and firearms ownership, because everything is politicized anymore, and most seem to be willing to at least listen to reason if we approach them thoughtfully and respectfully.
