Participate in the Center for Free Inquiry's Community of Indiana
celebration of TEN AMENDMENTS DAY in honor of the BILL OF RIGHTS,
Sunday, May 7 at 2:00 at the IUPUI Lecture Hall, Room LE 105 (325
University Boulevard). Activities include videos on Freedom of Religion
and Freedom to Dissent, and a panel for audience interaction. The event
is free and open to the public. No advance registration. Come join the
discussion!

It is most unfortunate that I have a previous committment for the 7th. Anybody in the Indy area available to explain the 2nd Amendment to this academic crowd?
I used to recruit for the NRA until they sold us down the river (again!) in Heller v. DC. See my auctions (if any) under username henryreilly

    I'm not a Constitutional scholar, far from it in fact, but I coulda' sworn there are/were around 14 Amendments to the Constitution *LOL*
    To answer your question, I'm 'prolly not qualified, sorry[:(]
