The framers are telling me what to think.

Unfettered access to weapons WS NOT a fraud from 1791 to 1934.the federal government created no gun control laws during that time frame..

Yes it is..

Contrary to popular myth, many frontier towns in the American Old West strictly prohibited carrying firearms within municipal limits. Famous locations like Dodge City, Tombstone, and Wichita required visitors and residents to disarm and check their weapons at local saloons, hotels, or the sheriff's office upon arrival.


Why Towns Banned Public Carry

Public safety: Town leaders knew that large concentrations of people, alcohol, and loaded revolvers frequently led to deadly conflicts.



 

No ****, Reframey. For the second time that is why I specified FEDERAL Government. WTF is wrong with, Puss?

The right is absolute. In a free nation, government has no authority to forbid me from speaking because I might shout "fire" in a crowded theater. Government has no authority to forbid me from using my fist to defend myself because I might also use it to strike your nose. And government has no authority to forbid me from owning a firearm because I might shoot an innocent victim. Government is there to assure that the full force of the law can be brought against me if I discharge that right in a manner that threatens the rights of others. It does not have the authority to deny me those very rights for fear I might misuse them. - CA State Senator (R) Tom McClintock, 2001
