Even if they were a bunch of uptight asscracks, times have changed, and our perception of the law should have as well.
You can't even try to refute the disparity in relevance of the second amendment two hundred thirty years ago as compared to now. The right to keep and bear arms was meant to safeguard the country against invasion and attacks by Native Americans, and even then there were implications; it wasn't absolute.
The point is that the United States is a VERY different country than when it first began in the eighteenth century, and our culture serves to show that. Sex isn't just a procreative tool anymore - it's a fundamental part of our culture. And there are most certainly implications on our lifestyles as a result.
