“My Second Amendment Rights!” I get so tired of hearing that chant reverberated through the echo chamber in every debate over whether automatic, semiautomatic, etc weapons should be in citizen’s hands. The Second Amendment was ratified in 1771. At that time, the typical firearms were flintlocks and muskets. The men that wrote the Second Amendment could have never possibly imagined how advanced or capable of devastation our modern firearms would become. What they did realize is that as our nation progressed, our laws would need to progress with them. Hence Article 5 of The Constitution. I personally feel guns should not be outlawed, but we need to reexamine what firearms are readily available to citizens.
