I do believe in the fundamental principles of individual liberty enshrined in the US Constitution. I just don’t think you and I see those fundamental principles the same way. However, you’re certainly entitled to try and convince people they should legalize crystal meth and 155mm howitzers, but I’m not holding my breath.
There are things today that the founders never considered, such as nuclear bombs and chemical weapons. Would they consider those things protected by the 2nd Amendment? I have my doubts.
Unfortunately, it appears we are at an impasse. No amount of discussion is going to convince me to support total legalization of all weaponry and drugs. Nor does it appear I’m getting through to you (to support my perspective). Have a great day!
Do you at least agree that in order for the federal government to have the power to criminalize simple possession of nuclear bombs, or chemical weapons, or certain kinds of plants and plant products, that there needs to be a Constitutional amendment?
They never considered the Internet, either, but there's a fundamental underlying principle of individual sovereignty that applies equally to FreeRepublic.com and quill pens.
