WHAT RIGHT TO BEAR WHAT ARMS?

Since the Second Amendment to the Constitution was ratified as part of the Constitution on December 15, 1791, a lot of Americans have died by firearms. Just since the September 11, 2001 attacks, about 192,000 folks have died of lead poisoning at the rate of 80 per day. That is also the equivalent of 68 September 11 attacks. Let's end the debate over the right to bear to bear arms once and for all. Honor that right by only allowing every law abiding American the right to own the national firearm of 1791... a musket.
