No Right is Absolute;
The debate has raged concerning whether any Right enumerated in the BOR is `Absolute'.
Well;
Of course those stoutly protesting that they are not absolute ARE CORRECT !! EVERY Right MUST have some limitations, in order for any sort of society to work.
Look at the Second Amendment, for instance; Unfettered, uncontrolled access to weapons would lead to a breakdown of Society in short order.
No..there MUST be controls of some sort.
Given the wording of the second Amendment, it is readily apparent that the Founders intended allowing decent citizens an unprecedented level of responsibility for maintaining the Republic.and they intended allowing that by force of Arms, when it became necessary.
Trust me on this...those wise men KNEW it would once again come to force of arms ..thus the REASON for the Second.
The `controls' The Anti-gunners screech about WERE intended by the Founders;
Those controls to take the form of swift, speedy trials and hangings for the vicious animals roaming the streets, victimizing innocent people.
Executing animals is the limits of governmental power over weapons.
One is left to wonder WHY gun-owners INSIST upon punishing everybody in this country for the misdeeds of the few. Instead of DEMANDING that criminals be subjected to proper justice ..they demand that decent citizens bear the burden of universal gun control.
I feel that strongly distrusting those that advocate gun control is a worthy endeavor...and is the sign of a healthy American attitude.
I find no common ground with gun controllers..and it is painfully obvious that while the common language is English.. words mean RADICALLY different things depending upon the point of view.
Four Simple words .."Shall Not Be Infringed" somehow morphs into "government has the authority and the duty to restrict firearms to whomever it pleases..."
No common ground at all, folks...and better the line clearly and cleanly drawn between perversion and common sense.

Jeff,
Point being, in reality we probably do the same thing in the same way.[:)]0 -
The first law of the multitude is comformity. Civilization is the mechanism of controling and maintaining that multitude. the more civilized a nation, the more conformed its population, until that civilization's last age arrives, when multiplicity wages war with conformity. The former grows wilder, ever more dysfunctional in its extremities; whilst the latter seeks to increase its measue of control, until such efforts acquire diabolical tyranny.
