Copperhead, Slate covered just a little bit what the founding fathers were like. Few were a nebbish, unwilling to be around or afraid of a tool.
As to the rest of your rant. I am not concerned with your doubts, they are your problem not mine. I will say that in this country you are welcome, encouraged in fact, by gun owners to not have a firearm if you are uncomfortable with them. That is entirely your right. That right, you should realize, stops at my nose. I am perfectly willing to allow you to not have or use a firearm. I do object, in the strongest terms, to your position to dictate to me what I should have to exercise MY rights.
In my opinion rights, which are not granted by the constitution or bill of rights but only acknowledged by them, should have the loosest possible determination so that they are not infringed upon regular citizens absent any wrong doing on their part.
