Here's an important fact that a lot of folks debating gun control neglect to consider: The consitution is a document that can be changed. In fact it *has* been changed in the past, by the process of amendment. Thus, it is inaccurate to refer to the "right to keep and bear arms" - it's not a "right" it's a privilege under the law, and it's one that can be revoked or changed under the law, by due process of law. It behooves us all to remember that. mjr.
