Other than the concept of evolution and that Obama's administration isn't uniquely awful, this is the hardest concept for rabid gun owners to understand. George Mason did not own a black rifle and wouldn't have stood up for your "right" to.

Today's internet, TV, and cell phones are as different from what the founder's had in mind as a hoe is to a backhoe, or a stick of tnt is to nuclear ordnance. Colonial soldiers had to dip a pen in an ink well and write on shitty paper. Now you can text, email, or blog someone a novel within one or two seconds.

The founding fathers never envisioned this communication technology, clearly we should remove the 1st amendment.
