No problem.
If you don't understand and / or can't answer, it's okay.
If you want to assume that you know what I believe, that's fine too.
I do think that you should be embarrasseed for yourself by not understanding that the Constitution is a constraint on government and not on the people.
We, the people pre-exist the government and are the repository of power. We have delegated certain limited powers to the government and reserve the rest to ourselves and the states, respectively. Those powers are listed in the body of the Constituion.
The enumerated rights in the BoR are not an exhaustive list of our rights but serve simply to remind government of some of the things which they are forbidden to do. The rest of the amendments address what the government may not and must not do and what they may and must do.
No where does the Constitution proscribe what an individual may or may not do.
Is that such a radical interpretation?
Hey Ray!
Cool use (and proper) of the word "proscribe".
You put all this together yourself? Doesn't look like your writing style and are you somehow expecting me to dispute any of this?
This is reasonable discourse and I agree with everything.
Hopefully you'll grasp the proper context and comprehension. That is where our differences will likely arise.
