Bipartisan Senate group proposes ‘no fly, no buy’ gun measure

They had no clue about Big Business, the first Big Business being formed as such (DuPont) was founded in 1802. They had no idea of railroads, telegraphs (let alone modern mas and personal communications). and -- most germane to the Second Amendment -- machine guns.

The Second Amendment arose in a time of flintlock rifles, weapons that would be completely useless as a defense against some meth fiend with his beloved Glock.

I agree the founding fathers had a different culture, but that culture is alive and well in red America.  You seem to want to change a contract when the blue want to change it.

It's quite different, just in the fact that the weapons are different as pbrower2a said. And red culture not only has all those big business industries and corporations in its midst, but red culture is the culture that supports their desire to exploit and control every one of us.

Blue culture is right; red culture is wrong and regressive. Blue culture needs to prevail over the red, at least well enough so that policies (or the "contract," in your words) are changed and the nation can progress again after our 40-year stall.
