OOPS! I meant the First Amendment!!! I apologize. My dementia is really starting to make things much more difficult. My wife edits my essays but not my responses...

Anyways, with that correction in mind, I really didn't have any resounding issues with your essay, but thought both perspectives were true in combination.

Still, the second amendment also had similar historical underpinnings. When the monarchy was Catholic, they took guns away from the Protestants, and vice versa. The back and forth conscriptions were similar and the commoners did much appreciate fighting the rich people's wars...

So, where do you live and should I translate my communications?
