These things are wonderful. You have to see what the claim is that they make for the Constitution and revolution, generally. That is the first sentence.

People kill with them. They are implements of violence. Surely, if there is a rule in the Constitution that says that the government may not forbid them, the rule must be obsolete. We do not live on the frontier anymore. Hardly any of us kill our own food anymore.
