    My strictly Constructivist take on the Second Amendment

    Every one should be able to own as many guns as they like -- provided that they utilize no technology that was not around in 1787 when the US Constitution was adopted. Now people can arm their militias while not harming innocents -- because by the time the gun owner has taken the time to load the thing, you can run out of the gun's range and be safe.

    There, I've settled the problem. I expect my Nobel peace prize in the mail.
