The N.R.A. convention in Houston, Texas, featured a group of speakers who were horrified about the massacres in Buffalo and Uvalde. None of them blamed guns or took any responsibility. They said schools should be hardened targets. They said the problem was “evil” or mental illness or lack of police training. Biden was blamed for not providing money to protect schools.
You probably know there is a legalistic theory used by some Supreme Court justices called the “originalism” theory. It holds that laws should be interpreted in light of what the Founding Fathers meant, what they experienced, how they saw things at the time.
Ok, I’ll buy it. The only guns you may have are muzzle loaders. You have to use black powder. You have a ball and a ramrod. And you have to be in a well-regulated militia. Otherwise, no gun.
