And what did Noah say about our Second Amendment? “Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States.” –Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, 10 October 1787

The Constitution didn't even exist on "10 October 1787" and the Bill of Rights wasn't ratified until December 15, 1791.

Lying is a habit with you.

Because in your mind, the Constitution was conceived and written on the day it was passed. That there was no forethought as to what should go into it.

Poor you...
