Doh!

And if the Second Amendment is no longer applicable, what other rights have also grown obsolete through neglect? Do we even know what it is we so cavalierly surrender?

“Americans know more about The Simpsons TV show than the US Constitution’s First Amendment,” the BBC News reported about a McCormick Tribune Freedom Museum poll.
"Doh!," my Rights Watch column for the July issue of GUNS Magazine, is now online.

My summer educational is for all my children to study and learn the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Still got work to do with one of the older, grown girls. She has this idea that one has a "right" to medical care. I explained to her that the Soviet Union went out of business, circa 1991. She replied, huh?. Work to be done.

"She has this idea that one has a "right" to medical care."

That's probably what they have been teaching/indoctrinating in school.
