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.
I would imagine Franklin would have looked to the enforcement of our law in dealing with a gunfight with any weapons on our streets.
