A Brief Thought-Projectile

If the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution is compromised or abrogated, certain consequences are apt to be brought about.

Foremost among these, is that ownership or use of firearms will be limited to a much smaller group of people, to consist chiefly of the following:

1. Violent criminals.
2. State functionaries.

In time, the distinction between these categories will become paper-thin -- a mere formality on thin paper.
