Good point.  However, our forefathers realized they would not be able to
predict the future so they left the ability for the Supreme Court to make
ammendments to keep it up to date correct?  Just as the Supreme Court did
with extending the "freedom of speech, press, religion, etc" to TV and radio
they could take a closer look at the 2nd ammendment as well.
