Driving is not a right ... is a Constitutional RIGHT

The constitution bestows no rights. The so called Bill of Rights is nothing more than an enumeration of limitations on the government to protect various rights.

From our right to life springs, among others, the right to bears arms to protect that right.

From our right to liberty springs, among others, the right to move about freely using whatever conveyance is standard for the day.

To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good...

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies [military-style police units] without the Consent of our legislatures....

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution [the U.N.], and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation...

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent...

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. [Think about it]....

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people....
