The Declaration is a Bill of Duties

Again, it stated the reason for the revolution, but was not part of the Constitution. But you apparently support not allowing confessions from the guilty and forcing every citizen to own a gun. There is obviously a duty to exercise the rights in the 2nd and 5th Amendments.

Yes I woud support not allowing confessions and ignoring them if given, and I would also support requiring every able and sane adult to own a gun and to train in how to use it. Those are vaild readings of those amendments.

Confessions are suspect de se. If you have someone who committed a crime you are likely to have a liar in that same person. So why believe a confession at all? It may keep us from capturing the real danger, the actual perpetrator.

And regarding guns, I think a reasonable law would allow a person to apply for a shall-issue exemption from ownership -- much the same way pepole now apply for carry permits.
