Or maybe it was Madison. Either way, neither Madison nor Adams ever at any point cared what the "people" wanted.
If you ever get the time, read Scalia's majority opinion in District of Columbia v. Heller . Keep in mind that up until Heller in 2008, no Supreme Court ever ruled that the Second Amendment established a right to gun ownership.
But, per the majority opinion in that case, governments at all level have the Constitutional right to impose many restrictions. Assault weapons bans are Constitutional. It's also Constitutional to strip gun rights for certain types of crimes and even civil offenses. Here in Allegheny County, in Pennsylvania, you can have all of your guns confiscated under a protection from abuse order. All Constitutional.
None of our rights are absolute. Not free speech, not freedom of religion, not protections against self-incrimination, and not gun ownership.
And remember, I'm just the messenger here. Keeping my own opinions to myself.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
