Gun Control & RKBA

johnston: Historial fact. I'm thinking of a certain book author. The study is probate courts, not census.

Jeez johnston, go talk to a counselor or something, you are losing it. You cannot insert your thoughts to supplant what someone else is referring to as proof of his predicate, to prove your predicate.
I was referring to dearborn's firearm census of 1803, not michael bellesiles 'arming america':

dearborn's census, huffpo: During Thomas Jefferson’s administration, a more ambitious and careful national count was launched by War Secretary Henry Dearborn in 1803, covering arms held both publicly and privately. The result showed that about 45% of militia-eligible men (roughly between the ages of 18-45) had arms, or about 24% of adult white males. President James Madison’s Secretary of War, William Eustis, reported similar numbers in 1810. Censuses of firearms continued to be conducted sporadically up until the Civil War. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/upset-about-a-census-of-p_b_521389

Explain your contradiction johnston, between what you said in your post 7 on this thread: First, the Founders... Second, they {the founders} never wrote any gun control laws,.

and what you wrote 4/2017: We have had gun control since the founding not always for the best reason..https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1172&pid=203112
