From the link:
Donohue explained that the Second Amendment must be interpreted in historical context. The founding fathers had no idea how powerful–and destructive–today’s weapons would become, he said.
Yeah, well, they sure as heck knew how powerful - and destructive - today's
government would become, which is precisely why they wrote the 2A into the BoR.
He does demonstrate a truism about today's gun-owners though. No matter how out-front the far left gun-grabbers are about their intentions, gun-owners will never rise against them, except to turn to the same usurped government that has already converted a fundamental right into a privilege that they, the government, either allow or disallow. It is very clear that many of the revolutionary Framers of this country recognized their own uniqueness in human history. That spirit is most certainly as dead today as our willingness to even rise against those who tell us up front that they're coming for our arms, much less to rise against those who have so thoroughly usurped the Constitution, making the environment for such treason-speak acceptable throughout society.
If no one else will say it, I will. The professor, and everyone who thinks like him, are my
enemies, with all that goes along with the true meaning of that word. I will never understand how or why gun owners treat them like just folks with a differing opinion than themselves. They wish to enslave you. The first step is to disarm you. If that doesn't make them your real, honest-to-goodness enemies, what, pray tell, would?
