[The legistlature can pass laws in secrecy all they want, and the courts can rule 'till they're blue, but eventually they will come up against the "cold dead fingers" provision of the Constitutional Republic.]

It is dangerous to indulge in Fantasy History though it might make you feel good temporarily. Threatening the Court is a violation of this Forum's policies as well.

You seem to lack the ability to differentiate between drawing a line in the sand and making a "threat". You are also unfamiliar with the 2nd Amendment and the reason[s] for it's place of prominence in the BOR.

I feel sorry for you - fearing freedom and hushing the story of how it became a reality as a dangerous fantasy.

Better not post back, the folks in black helicoptors are reading your words (and thoughts), and if you say the wrong thing, or it becomes known that you're conversing with a right winger like me, why...you'll be taken away in the night.

I am very familiar with the Constitution and its origin. None of that history demonstrates that the representative democracy it set up was or is a "tyrant." The Founders distrusted power but they established a nation designed to avoid tyranny since it was to be responsive to the citizens and could be changed through the amendment process.

It has worked admirably for over two hundred yrs. One of the reasons it has worked so well is the USSC.

Apparently you have a problem understanding the plain words of the 2d amendment which clearly states that the right to keep and bear arms is to allow the people to be armed and available for militia duty since "A well regulated militia, [is necessary] to the security of a Free STATE." This is clearly inconvenient to the arguments of those believing the 2d was designed to be used AGAINST the US government. It never was intended that way.

Militias were of use against the Indians but not much else as a short review of American military history would show you. Militias were to be REGULATED by the states; they weren't a bunch of kooks playing war games in the woods with the boys.

I have NO fear of freedom only of the shortsighted and ignorant who want to ignore parts of the constitution which don't suit them while claiming to be patriots. THEY are indeed dangerous to true freedom.

Rather than making vague and absurd accusations why don't you tell everyone where I have EVER "hushed" ANY fact of American history or any fact whatsoever.
