Dec 25	comment	Were there weapons that a private citizen could not legally own in 1789 in the US? like the mental model of what the concept means (in a large cultural sense). Honestly, I'm a little mixed on the gun ownership issue (the issue at hand); I'm not at all mixed on the absurdity of the original intent doctrine
Dec 22	comment	Were there weapons that a private citizen could not legally own in 1789 in the US? I'd certainly believe cannons were privately owned. Honestly, it seems like a modern assult rifle or a modern colt 45 would be a more dangerous weapon than a canon. The point being the model of owning anything in 1789 is not the same as in 2013
Dec 12	comment	Has a country gone to war to seek payment of a debt since 1900? sounds like an interesting example - honestly, I was thinking more 'war' than 'occupation'. 1920's German hyperinflation was obviously the most costly event `writ large` of all time.
