Most or all of this drama, humiliation, wasted taxpayer money could be spared -
with even modest attempt at presenting balanced facts from the start.

Re: Five types of gun laws the Founding Fathers loved
In my opinion, this is a very badly written article. The title and opening section claim that that the Founding Fathers "loved" these various types of gun laws and "endorsed" them, but the remainder of the article provides no support for that position. And despite the OP claim, the links provided in the article do little or nothing to back up the claims made in the article.
This claim is a stretch, at best. Thomas Jefferson was not a Federalist, and certainly not a proponent of big government.Both of these beliefs ignore an irrefutable historical truth. The framers and adopters of the Second Amendment were generally ardent supporters of the idea of well-regulated liberty. Without strong governments and effective laws, they believed, liberty inevitably degenerated into licentiousness and eventually anarchy. Diligent students of history, particularly Roman history, the Federalists who wrote the Constitution realized that tyranny more often resulted from anarchy, not strong government.
