The bill of rights isn’t exclusive as the 9th amendment specifically points out. There’s nothing in the bill of rights stating a right not be raped but I believe we do have such a right. The Declaration of Independance cites England’s violations of property rights as the primary trespass justifying revolution. And my state protects my property right to restrict guns from my property. I’m confident our legislature will remain free of nutburgers such that this property right will be preserved.
I couldn't find the word “property” in the Declaration of Independence. Can you verify your assertion with a citation or logic or something? Here: http://constitution.org/us_doi.htm
“...my property right to restrict guns from my property.”
Where is that particular property right documented?
In my previous post, I suggested you “try bolstering your argument by providing a statement of property rights at least similar in clarity and authority to the statements from the Bill of Rights.”
Are you unable to do that?
What exactly are the property rights you are arguing for?
Again, here:
“...the right of the people to ____ and ____ and etc. Property...”
“...The right of the people to be secure in their property against ____ and ____ and etc....”
Fill in the blanks. Anybody else reading this feel free to have a go at it too.
(To Whom It May Concern: I know that Arms, houses, papers, and effects are property, and that in effect the The Second and Fourth Amendments are statements of property rights as they stand.)
