Quote:I realize you don't believe that people have inheirent rightsand you believe that rights are granted by the gov't, and that's sad, but let me make something clear, my rights as a person are not granted to me by the BOR nor are they granted to me by the SCOTUS.

Quote:but I pay little heed to laws that violate my rights.
Quote:If guns were banned where I live it would make exactly zero difference in weather I have them or not.
