I mentioned this a week or two ago in the gun control thread. Although being posted in its own thread seems to have garnished the attention it deserves.

And theres the problem :up:
not a single one of the rights is inconsequential.
You may elect not to use it personally - thats fine - but others might wish to.
Would this be an issue for you if they were confiscating religious materials? Or what about history books?
What if they were going house to house to check computer hard drives or to inspect the living conditions of your children?

As i said earlier, our rights as enumerated in the constitution is an interwoven tapestry. You pull on one, and another will start to fray. That is why fighting for things like the second amendment, is so vitally important, and something often overlooked by the anti-gun crowd. I am often puzzled at how they would advocate to limit their own liberties simply because they choose not to exercise one of them. My view is the second, is much like the first. You don't have to agree with what their saying, but you should defend their right to say it.
Rights are boolean. You either have them, or you don't. |
