Because of the 16th Amendment, and the [abuse of the] Commerce Clause, we are slaves.
We must work for our master [government] and our master can force us to buy from the "company store" [obamacare], or take away that which he so generously allowed us to keep [private property] via confiscation/arrest.
I don’t totally disagree with you.
OTOH, just imagine how bad it would be without the Second Amendment?
