As to the 2nd Amendment and your blunderbuss argument - I agree 100%. But we know full well that the socialists are attempting to chip away daily on those rights. Kennedy and his 'Cop Killer Bullet Bill' being the current stealth attack. If we so chose, we should have a right to own a .50 Cal Barrett (now under attack) an AK-47, M-16 or any full auto rifle. Now do I want an RPG, no. Should we have a right to one... hmmm that's a toughie. But if I wanted a "Tommy Gun" I should be able to get one.
As to the 1st Amendment and "freedom of speech, print, broadcast, to produce videos or audiotapes or write websites". Here I disagree, as I believe we do need "some common sense publishing controls". I see no reason why seditious hate speech spewed by the likes of Kennedy, Daschle, Kerry cannot be controlled. And Every time some gun grabbing socialist starts spewing their tripe, I'd love to throw the same points right back at them regrading their freedoms by substituting "the press" for guns. They'd go apoplectic.
What I also find amazing is that to the anti-American, hate spewing Leftists only the 14th Amendment and one part of the 1st is sacrosanct (freedom of the press). All other of our 'rights' can, and now are subject to some form of "common sense control". Heck even most of the 5th Amendment now has limits (Eminent domain being one erosion).
In conclusion (do I hear cheers?), I still see driving as a privilege not a god given right.
