	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.
