The year is 1851. Our pioneer forefathers have just been attacked by warriors from the neighboring Indian tribes. Scores of settlers were killed. Everyone was aware that there was a serious danger of another immediate attack.
1st Settler: “This was a horrendous and murderous attack. They slaughtered our men, women, and children.”
2nd Settler: “Yes. It was awful.”
1st Settler: “Clearly, in order to stop this we need to get rid of all our guns. If we disarm ourselves, this won’t ever happen again.”
2nd Settler: “Good thinking! We need to write to our representatives in the Capitol and ask them to revoke, or at least seriously modify, the 2nd Amendment, and make it illegal to own a firearm. That way we’ll all be safe.”
1st Settler: “That sounds reasonable to me. I feel safer already.”
2nd Settler: “Yes. I do too.”
