Folks, he's right. The Bill Rights is designed so that the various
provisions support the others. Start screwing with one, and they all start
getting hurt.
As for 1st ammendment, I have a question for Americans. If a man chooses
to carry a sideamr becuase he has little confidence in the police to be
able to save his life in a crisis, is that not a manner of expressing that
emotion, and thus protected under the First Amendment? Rember that the
Bill of Rights is a set of ten EQUALS, and is not in order of priority.
> Why ban the PSG-1, a 10,000 $ rifle? Has it become evil?
Or an inexpensive revolver? Do not the poor deserve to defend themselves?
Or do only celebrities and politicians who can surround themselves with
squads of men with automatic weapons need protection?
