Is the second amendment so sacred that children’s lives lay upon its alter of sacrifice? Lord knows you play pretty fast and loose with a few amendments…treating them more like suggestions. But that second amendment, that is sacrilegious? What a load of shite… The US Constitution was created in 1787, by well-meaning but flawed men, as we all are.

A well trained British infantryman could fire 3 shots a minute out of the smoothbore Brown Bess. Where the ball went is anyone’s guess… Fast forward to today with the advances in firearms technology and such....
