The Framers made the mistake of thinking average Americans were smart enough to self regulate. Which, let's be honest, a lot of us aren't.

Not entirely true...The framers didn't trust citizens to vote if they weren't land owners, female etc. And those that that did vote didn't really vote for the president or the senate...representatives did that.

They still trusted people with the ability to keep and bear arms.

I am unwilling to limit the rights of the majority of people who are law abiding because there is a *chance* that someone will not use their right correctly.

Preserve the right...Punish the law breaker...
