In the Chicago Trib.
"It is certainly helpful to know, for example, that when opponents such as George Mason worried that the militia under the Constitution might be "disarmed," they did not envision nasty Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents going door-to-door confiscating private weapons, as the court implies, but rather that the militia would be disarmed through congressional neglect."
Yep. The Founders could never have imagined a Gov't trying to disarm the populace.
I guess those little incidents at Lexington and Concord never happened and General Gage was never ordered to destroy militia stores.
What they wouldn't have imagined was that some Americans, who they fought and bled for, would not only allow it to happen, but to advocate for it.
He must have studied at the Bellisiles school of history.
