Re: I favour a small efficient government
[ QUOTE ]
So, ACPlayer: why didn't the government do just that when it was far smaller and more efficient than it is today, when the Constitution and 2nd Amendment were actually written? Why didn't they follow through and ban gun sales, just as you suggest, way back THEN?

Because the Constitution is a living-breathing document. Plus, what is actually written down shouldn't be taken seriously. It is what a Justice currently believes as his or her own opinion that really counts. We must recognize the "right to privacy"...which includes the government looking in people's bedrooms to see if they own a gun, aparently.
