the founding fathers didnt even agree with each other, and their disagreement into 2 factions led to the 2 party system we have today. one side wanted strong state govts with a federal govt that did very little, the other side wanted a strong federal govt and states that did very little autonomously. so in essence at least half of the founding fathers would be happy with a strong federal govt and strong presidency like we have today, and the other half would be happy to see that we have states pushing abortion bans and educational curriculums that defy federal mandates.
you should read up on the founding fathers, its a very interesting subject.
on topic i dont think ANY of the founding fathers would be please to find out private citizens have a room in their house with 100 semi automatic guns and an entire wall of ammunition. and would zip back into the 1780s asap to change their wording of the 2nd amendment. and i say that as a gun owner who has WAY too many guns and ammunition.
agreed there does seen to be way too many in circulation, it is a little ridiculous.
that said a lot of these shootings are carried out by evil people who were already known wolves, didnt have massive stockpiles, targeted areas they knew would face little or no armed resistance, and oh and did i mention were known wolves. then of course you have states with tough gun laws and yet illegally owned firearms are used in a lot armed crimes. last i checked possession of illegal firearms is against the law, so is shooting people for no reason.
