Licensed gun owners don't commit crime which is why banning this stuff is so ridiculous. Do criminals listen to no gun signs? not last I checked..
Unfortunately the founding fathers left the wording rather vague about what they wanted. But if you read some of their comments at the time it becomes clear:
|
Americans have the right and advantage of being armed - unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.--Madison
A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference.--Jefferson
No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.--Jefferson
Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty's teeth.--Washington

Sadly what we have in this day in age is people legislating from the bench and voting along what they believe, not what was intended by the founding fathers which is rather clear.
The outcome of this should be rather interesting..
