What makes you think they will be able to take away one or more of our liberties?
Who is "they?" And I'm not saying "take away," I'm asking which of our hard won liberties are you willing to GIVE away?
The one-word answer to that question is of course "history."
Examples abound, but I'll give you two recent ones:
1) McCain-Feingold, taking away freedom of speech during the election cycle.
2) The "assault-weapons" ban, taking away the right to buy the very militia-type arms guaranteed in the Second Amendment.
(Memo to an alleged lawyer: Rudy, the Second Amendment is not about "hunting." There is no Constituional right to hunt.)
