That's the wrong window. The correct window is to frame the conversation as "arms." The first amendment does not say "guns." It says "arms." That means swords, knives, baseball bats, etc etc. If we talked about baseball bats or cars (DUIs) the same way we talked about guns, the insanity surrounding the issue would be blindingly obvious.

You're correct and I'd say that conversation is starting to shift. Look at NYC with the lawsuit to allow knives and other arms. There are a number of groups lobbying to allow for the carrying of arms as opposed to just guns. I think that's a huge step.
