The doctors of the time of the framing of the Constitution knew what they were doing.
Because they knew what they were doing based on the level of scientific understanding, etc. in that day...that means today's doctors should be applying the same methods and technology, foregoing the advancements we have seen?
Did the framers know that blacks should not have the right to vote, to marry a white woman, that women should be treated as property, etc.?
The problem with the regressives is that they selectively apply inconsistent logic to a 200+ year old situation.
When the issues are addressed, the klannish regressives fall back like parrot monkeys and repeat 2nd amendment, 2nd amendment ad infinitum...as if they lack the ability to look at present day reality both technologically and socially.
A good parent wants his children to grow up and learn to think for themselves, which is what the Framers wanted.
We don't live in the past, we live in the present moving toward the future...which is not 1776.
Quote from Tigerjaw:
To those trying to use logic and the Constitution in your discussions with liberals on this issue - - - youre wasting your time. (I know because I've tried it for years.) They don't think - - - they emotionally react. They don't care about the Constitution or meanful crime reduction, or any of that. They are passive-aggressives who are cowardly and quite willing to have big brother take care of them & protect them - - no matter what the costs financially or in terms of personal freedom. They don't care about any statistics, they just 'feel' that guns are 'bad' and that's is that. They know nothing on the subject. - - And the two lib women & one lib guy that I actually got to go to the range with me changed their viewpoint by 180 degrees within a month afterwards. They are useful pawns - - for those who want you disarmed. The Founding Fathers knew exactly what they were doing when they put the 2nd Amendment in the Bill of Rights.
