Those working to weaken such protections should also give pause, and consider the results they get may not be the ones they set out to achieve.
Why? They're BANKING on a lazy population that's willing to do what FEELS good. They've been teaching that for decades now. They've been nibbling away at sanity and what worked. For the large part they're people who want to do what's right and what will make things better, but they're deluded into thinking that black is white and wrong is right. 2+2 can equal 5 if you WANT it bad enough they're told.
Well the people telling them that are the ones who want to get rid of that paper in favor of something much, much worse. The kings of old, the mighty men of renown.
Look at the Heller briefs and you'll see that nut-jobs existed "back in the day" and how to deal with them. Appeasement and removing guns from the hands of the good guys in those days would have given us many more examples of mass murders, but for some reason, sanity perhaps, it wasn't done.
