The President’s role is to protect and defend the Const. Not to create a nanny state and take away my rights.

If it’s the role of gov’t to keep us safe then throw away the ideas of driving, having guns, raising kids and playing football.

It is my job to keep myself safe and exercise my rights.

We shall see what happens in the future, but being ‘safe’ is not a right.

My interpretation is that the Constitution spells out the Govt’s role to keep Americans safe from foreign entities and secondly to keep Americans safe from an intrusive federal Government.

As a country, we are failing on the latter and let’s all hope we don’t on the former, or we are lost forever.
