Well, Bill D, one of my points is that a "right" is just that, a right. It is not ALLOWED. The priviledge of an allotment means that the right to the thing being alloted is retained by someone other than YOU. These are the SPECIAL people ( "some animals [pigs] are more equal than others"), you know, the party members, the aristocracy, those who know BETTER than YOU!

The Bill of Rights ENUMERATES our inalienable rights. It does NOT create them. This is why I stress the point of personal responsibility. Some people prove by irresponsible behavior that do not deserve and should not have the right to be armed. The person whom artbrooks mentioned above fills the bill. Two wrongs does not make it right.

Again, it is a FREE society. You can choose to do wrong and when you do society can then remove your rights in total or in part; or even your life, if it is so minded. We are in this Revolution, this experiment, together and so we are responsible to each other. This is the message which is NOT being taught in schools today. In fact, many of today's classrooms resemble an experiment in anarchy, teacher beware! If someone had intentionally set about to disrupt and destroy the American Idea it would closely resemble what we have today with gangs (tribalism) and the aforementioned anarchy.
