I do wish we, as a nation, would simply stick to the guidellines offered by the Bill of Rights. Man, if the Founders could come back to life, would they ever be pissed off.

I agree. I believe they'd be most pissed at the 9th circuit for its complete inability to interpret the meaning of their brilliant words.

God--->natural law---->US Constitution. Take away God, and the Constitution is meaningless.

And exactly how does God make the Constitution meaningful? Replacing "God" with "BillyBob" would achieve the same result. The Constitution doesn't have any intrinsic meaning beyond that which people are willing to enforce with guns. I think the Constitution is a fine, well-written protocol that can stand on its own merits. Its existence doesn't need to be justified.

You fit in perfectly with those who spin away our Second Amendment rights.
