I would refer you to that article about the 2nd amendment, and what it was actually meant for. Because god forbid muslims ever start forming well organized militias, then we couldn't take their guns. Oh wait

Your imagination is poor. Not every situation will be the same. Sometimes you may have time to go retrieve the gun from your safe, sometimes not. Perhaps people who have guns for self defense believe that they will generally have enough time.
I only keep my rifles that I have sighted in the scopes in my safe, don't want them to get touched and off sight. I keep my pistols and shotguns all around the house. Got a 45 by the toliet in case some ***** sneaks up on me while im trying to drop a deuce.

Read the context of the debate to which he was commenting, as is presented in the article. Let's not forget all the problems that the constitution didn't address at that time period, like it was a document given from God or something

Social contract, bitch. You signed it, so live with it. No more debate for you.

The reason the 2nd amendment wasn't addressed earlier is because it was de facto/common knowledge that everyone should have a gun
