I'm of the view that you can't take a broad approach to other rights, such as First Amendment rights, and then interpret the Second Amendment so narrowly that it could fit in a thimble

Schumer should have stopped there...but

I don't believe the government has a right to take away any of our Rights protected in our Constitution.

That's why they must trick us into accepting the UN's constitution, and trash the only document existing that protects a Free People.

They are using our legal system against us, knowing that we can't afford to take them into "their" courts to defend their encrochment on our Rights.

Such as using the phony "Drug War" to steal our Right to privacy and protection against illegal search and seizure.

And using "Hate Crime Laws" to curb our Right to free speech.

And now bush is using "Terrorism" to change our form of government by creating a Cabinet level committee to rule over us. Along with the others that operate above our Constitution such as FEMA, ATF, DNR, FBI, IRS, Federal Reserve Bank and executive orders.

We can deal with any situation. We have Police to protect us from street criminals. We have the National Gaurd to help and protect us during emergencies. And we have our Military to protect us from terrorists and any other foreign threat.

The one thing we have not protected ourselves from is having the fox in the henhouse, and we are paying for that heavily.

I think I understand how the Colonists felt.
