[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 1127055, member: 9789"] To me, "history" is very subjective, now that I have a few years under my belt. When we were children just about everything had some historical reference and as we become older citizens we have become part of the historical dialogue. When I was young and really ignorant, I believed everything I read.... again told from the perspective of who was in charge and their POV. History is written from a subjective point of view. Those in power, write the history from their perspective. We really don't know for sure what the intent was. The closest we can get to interpretation of history is the evidence left behind and that is still an interpretation of what actually happened or what was meant. Bringing this back to the Bill of Rights and the 2nd Amendment, nobody has the true answer to what the writers meant. All the evidence and writing is there for our interpretation. The real question is, who can make the best case for their side AND who will decide that case. What the people decide is what the law is. [/QUOTE]
