let us protect ourselves. let us have our guns... and get the governmental hell out of our lives and out of our way... along with all the sychophant nanny state worshippers who want government to enforce or regulate EVERY thing that exists, in one way or another. Don't you just wish they'd all move to Europe sometimes? It's even more fun when some of these people are in your own family.

The U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights have been copied and "improved" by every other country who has since achieved democracy.
Almost without exception, they extend the "rights" of the citizens by expanding the power of the government to give people things they should be providing for themselves. This fundamental lack of understanding of what defines a "right" ultimately reduces their freedoms (and ours, as we in the U.S. give in to the same foolish temptations) as the government takes from citizen A in order to give to citizen B (and keeps a portion for itself).
A friend of mine returned from a trip to the Netherlands and was praising the country for how many more "rights" their citizens had compared to ours, guaranteed in their constitution; rights to free health care and medicine, a nice house to live in, a clean environment, a good job with benefits and lots of time off, a paid retirement, and many other things, all provided by a benevolent government.
Benjamin and Thomas are rolling over in their graves.
