Default Re: Gun Freedoms and Crime

I wonder. Is it possible to view "the right to bear arms" as "the right to live in the past?"

150 years ago, perhaps there was a need to be able to bear arms in case Mexico invaded, or the Indians attacked or the outlaws road into town. But now? Should the right to bear arms be removed?

Or is it the case that after some many years of guns being a part of the fabric of US society that it would be impossible to remove the right to bear arms, even though that might be a 'good' idea?
