Worth a look. The Founding Fathers did face a lot of threats such as the Redcoats, Native Americans, wildlife, etc.

We do live in a very different environment though and I wonder what Ben Franklin would think of say a gunfight with assault type weapons occurring in the streets of Philadelphia. It would seem very much against the pursuit of happiness.
The Constitution is changeable. It can be amended. If there are indeed as many people opposed to the Second Amendment as it is written and interpreted, it should be no problem at all mustering up the necessary votes to amend it.
