I have heard many speak recently about gun control. It is judged to be a constitutional right. Yet many, by some counts, the majority think it reads something else. Thomas Jefferson in his Questionable wisdom gave us some food for thought on this. I am posting his quote here. Perhaps we need to rethink the second amendment, read on: “I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and Constitutions. But laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.” ― Thomas Jefferson
