that there would be some political violence that the republic would simply have to suffer as part of the price of freedom and they believed that price would be tolerable. essentially, what they believed is that we have to put up with idiots like timothy mcveigh in order to be free. last comment i think that wasn t within the constitution but it was an idea is that the people didn t give up the locking idea. that s partly where we disagree on these things. but i think it s been a real interesting debate and thank you very much. thank you.
