Excellent points. I'm roughly in favor of a taking a very strong look at the Constitution (written constiutions being, it seems to me, a bad idea for a government), which would solve some of the problems you mentioned. That is, the second amendment is clearly out of date -- why do we still treat it like it's the second most important right of the people after freedom of expression?
