So Do We Have a Quorum?

Nearly two-thirds of Americans say they believe the Constitution guarantees each person the right to own a gun, according to a poll released Sunday.

At least they didn't say "gives." And no, I'm not suggesting we vote on it.

This is a good trend. It doesn't reflect any depth of understanding, but if the direction and numbers were reversed, we'd be seeing a lot more action, as opposed to mere sound and fury from tantrum throwers who aren't getting their way quickly enough.

  1. Now if they would only understand that the Bill of Rights is just a prohibition on government attempting to pass any laws whatsoever regulating those rights listed, and those rights left unlisted. Imaine that: the highest law in the land is not aimed at "the people", but at the Hitler wanna-bes.

  2. I'm not too interested in what people believe. You can believe anything, as people do.

    I'm more interested in what the Constitution actually means.

    Freedom!

    It is rather confusing to realize that I only have as much freedom as those who "represent me" allow.
