Great post. A key to all the rights in the Billof Rights is "the people." Where ever that phrase is used it means just that, all the people.

"I for one am getting tired of heirs to the heinz fortune, or oil well fortunes, or whatever fortune who have never worked an honest day in their lives telling me what I can or can't own, and then expecting me to pay them a tax on my own property."

Bingo. This anti-gun stuff started in 1934 with the Firearms Act. By 1934 the gangster era was at an end and fully auto weapons did not need to be banned.Feel good stuff like the 1968 law, the AWB, Brady Bill, and administrative restrictions put on importation of guns by presidents have done nothing to reduce crime in the USA.
