In post 341, your comparison to driving is seriously flawed. Driving is a privledge that may be removed by the Government at any time. It is not enumerated in the Constitution at all. The 2nd Amendment however is an inalienable right that is enumerated in the Constitution. By comparing the two, you are basically saying that Rights have no meaning at all. Becareful how you compare things.

On the subject of “yelling fire in a theater” posted earlier by another poster, it’s flawed as well. We all have the ability to yell “fire”. The laws regarding it are not prohibitive but punitive (sp?). The ability to yell fire is not removed but punishment for using your right to encite panick.

Just give the government another 50 years, and they'll convince you that gun ownership is also a privilege that may be removed by the government at any time, and you'll repeat their propaganda for them on that point as well..
