Whom, specifically, is our greatest ally? - (spoiler: Australia) - [PEACE]

[Steven Schear]

"I think that in America, gun laws cannot Constitutionally be any stricter
that they were in 1789, when the Bill of Rights of voted, and 1791, when it
was ratified by states."

Of course they are more strict. When these Amendments were written each
state had militias controlled by their governors, and these rights were
linked to militia membership. This which dramatically changed in 1903, when
Congress became Dicks.

Since then the restrictions have only gotten tighter. Today, there are
effectively no militias.

I interpret this change to mean these rights originally conferred to the
states now Constitutionally belong to the nation's individuals.
