I used to love hearing about my "Constitutional Rights", now a little bit of vomit rises in my throat whenever I hear that phrase.
The Constitution had nothing to do with granting people rights. Every person is born with all the Human Rights they are ever going to have, including the right ot keep and bear arms. It is the role of tyrants to deny an individual the ability to exercise those inherent Human Rights. The U.S. Constitution was written as an instruction manual on the form and function of our new Federal Government. The Bill of Rights was added, after much debate and dissent, to emphasize the Human Rights that the Federal Government must absolutely never infrige upon!
And just as the dissenters feared, 230 years later the vast majority of Americans believe that it is that actual piece of paper that grants The People their rights. It is the most absurd distortion of reality in history.
If you really want to learn about Common Sense and the Rights of Man, read Thomas Paine. The Founders knew what he was talking about, he inspired them. We don't even hold a spark up to the torch that those great enlightened men ignited. We are left with a cold burned-out ember.
Everybody here knows I support all firearms including the Title 2/Class 3, but I also think the 2nd Amendment covers other weapons like brass knuckles (referenced from another post) as well as switchblades, swords, and other "martial arts" weapons.

Why, of all things do they ban switchblades?[:(!]
Beats me....
Because their stupid.... they are, as Sigmund Freud would say, mentally and sexually retarded, they are irrational, unintelligent (keep in mind, fear of inanimate objects is learned by others, not instinctual, and that is the barrier between intelligent vs. educated), cowardly, or psychotic, basing their feelings and thoughts as if everyone thinks them.
You guys are forgetting one important point here.
The Constitution, is an "ever evolving document", according to the "elites".
How else can we understand 10 different legal scholars, developing 10 differing opinions, on clear, and very simple text?
How did the first amendment come to cover "pornography", except by that very process?
Freedom of speech was very clearly meant to convey the right to speak out against the government, without fear of reprisal,......but it now means we have the right to have the above pumped into our homes, via sattelite, and cable. If that is ones bag,.......I have no issue, but it has NOTHING to do with freedom of speech, anymore than the obviously "purposeful" misinterpretation of the second amendment!
