I'm sorry to inform you that in the absence of the judicial system and law enforcment the consitution would be as important to your liberty as the articles of confederation. It is a peice of paper. It has no power. It must be acted on by citizens and institutions.

Oh my.. You mean that in the event of a breakdown, you know.. a REALLY, REALLY bad one, where 911 doesn't work... that we might need to defend ourselves with guns (gasp!) as opposed to laws, the "constitution" and other pieces of paper?

Say it ain't so...

The constitution spells out a few, but not nearly all, of the rights that the founders took for granted. Unregulated gun ownership is just a common sense right (and responsibility) that the founders would not debate. Only those with an agenda would consider limiting such a right, or ignoring their responsibility to to defend themselves, their property and their families. Your agenda is simple and obvious and has nothing to do with preventing crime.

In #161, I asked you to provide sources, links, articles, facts, etc., to support your claims. So far, I have only seen YOUR claims, YOUR beliefs, YOUR 'teaching statements'. You've NOT provided any 'court rulings', any articles, any links, etc.

"We' are NOT your students. 'We' do not accept your word on blind faith. 'We' want to SEE your studies, facts, 'proof' that you are correct in what you 'teach'. 'We' want to SEE that you are MORE knowlegeable than our Founding Fathers, than their Constitution.

As an 'educator', you ARE obligated to provide such things.
