Madness Sadness

Somehow, when Mr. Madison wrote, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.," I don't think he meant for 8-year-olds to be playing with Uzi's.
How tragically stupid of the parents of that poor boy. How horrifying to have to live with that for the rest of their lives. There is a line at which the "bearing of arms" goes beyond zealotry. I think it's fair to say that line has been crossed.

But didn't Jefferson say, "It does me no injury for my neighbor to have twenty uzis or no uzi"?
