I've got a copy of the Federalist Papers and I've been skimming it. It's
interesting to note how archaic the English is considering a point I
made elsewhere. I was aware of the tension between the federalists and
the anti's which is why the 'state' had a question mark.

I somehow doubt the American public was better educated then. In 1870
the illiteracy rate was 20% (in the US) and in 1979 the rate was 0.6%

If you can shoot what you aim at, you've got the right level of gun
control.

Hang on a minute, I'm anti-gun!
