Back in 1776, the state of the art in weapons technology was the flintlock rifle and the cannon. Today, it's the Abrams battle tank and the ICBM-delivered nuclear warhead. The lack of a ban on fully automatic weapons really isn't going to do you any good. Or are you suggesting that people should have tanks and missile silos at home?

In 1776 the best way for people to exercise their right to free speech was to gather in the local church. Today, we have modern printing presses and electronic communications technology. Or are you suggesting we should allow people to have access to newspapers, tv's, radios, and internet?
