re: #321 Obdicut

The Constitution is not a document written to limit rights, so it’s irrelevant that automobiles are not mentioned in them.

Bearing arms is something that changes in appropriateness with time. Things are not like they were back then. The reasons for the things in the bill of rights have to be taken into account, otherwise we’re fetishizing text and not intention.

IIRC, the Bill of Rights, indeed the whole Constitution is written to limit the power of government, not individual citizens.
