Personally, I prefer my Katana to any gun I've ever fired.
A blade is the best thing to match an intruder with.
I live in Canada. so our gun laws are getting even more strict, i had my FAC up until a year and a half ago, when I sold all my firearms and used the money to funy my sword collection.
Most of them are just decorative. but I have two that are battle ready.
Unfortunately in Canada, I can't kill an intruder, I have to use equal force. So I figure if someone gets in my house, theyll have to have a knife of some sort anyhow at least.
To that end, its far more tactical. if you dont know well the house you are in, how can you expect to use a firearm properly?And what thug knows how to use a firearm properly? One out of thousands is my guess. and thats giving them some credit.
Lastly though, Nothing says justice like a sword.

As for your Understanding the men that wrote the constitution DD, One does not have to believe that there is a God, to understand the things He stands for.
I don't deny that those men were vastly insightfull. nor do I have anything for, or against your constitution.
It's just a bit too easy to call other people ignoranrt.
