This is my view of the Second Amendment to The Constitution and so called<\/p>\n
intent.<\/p>\n
You have to go back in time which is easy to do as everyone has a time<\/p>\n
machine built into them, it’s called a mind. So let us go back to 1791 when a<\/p>\n
group of men, just having written a constitution, were confronted with<\/p>\n
afterthoughts, whether their own or of other citizens.<\/p>\n
Among these thoughts was the fact\u00a0 that they had narrowly escaped defeat<\/p>\n
by an army equipped with the latest in weaponry, notably the Brown Bess<\/p>\n
of the British Army, issued circa 1771 if I’m not mistaken.<\/p>\n
Many of the men who rallied to the American cause already had a weapon<\/p>\n
for hunting purposes to increase their larder.<\/p>\n
Voila!, make it an irretrievable right to have a weapon that could kill a deer<\/p>\n
or a man if necessary. But considered what must have been envisaged.<\/p>\n
A large bore, single fire weapon that would tax a man to reload in less than<\/p>\n
a minute, and that, if I’m not mistaken is intent.<\/p>\n
Do you think for a minute they foresaw the Gatling\u00a0 Gun of 1861 or\u00a0 what<\/p>\n
passes in our time?, I think not.<\/p>\n
