I notice however, that the UCLU paper makes no mention of the second amendment and the "right to bear arms" without which all other rights are not possible. Is it possible it is ommission on purpose ? After all the founders quite clearly understood that simply because you have rights on paper it cannot be guaranteed that the state would respect those rights. Of course the UCLU is uncomfortable with all of the citations by the founders as to the real purpose of the second amendment, which was a guarantee of the people to be armed against their own governments' possible tyranny.
