Letter: Don’t water down Constitutional rights

To the Editor:

Some argue that firearm technology has developed far beyond what our Founding Fathers had in mind when they ratified the Second Amendment. I would argue that the same is true of the First Amendment. 

I can’t imagine James Madison envisioned blood-soaked movies gratuitously shown as entertainment, or the prevalence of pornography pandered as art when he stroked the First Amendment with his quill.
