There is a difference between defending ourselves and holding people for years on end w/o trial.

Do POWs typically receive a trial? You’re assuming they are entitled to the same rights that US civilian criminals receive.

(In that case, you would not have the right to reproduce w/o governmental sanction.)

????? Our rights are outlined in the Constituion - they aren’t created by the Constitution. We aren’t limited to only those that are identified there. Am I missing your point?

Actually that IS my point. I live in New Mexico, an open carry state, and just try walking around with a plastic sparring-sword. (Despite Amendment 2, Constitution OR Article 2, Sec 6 of the State Constitution.)
