IOW you're contradicting yoourself yet again. I do but, except...I dont. Our Bill of Rights is written in very plain english, it needs no "interpreting", in fact that very notion came with the start of the "Progressive" movement about 110 years ago, of a flexible "living" Constitution that could be molded to the socialist agenda. Before that, the purpose of the Supreme Court was to test laws to see if they met Constitutional muster. > The funny thing is that you don't realize one of your Libertarian buddies > might just be YOUR worst enemy, much more likely than a proponent of > democracy... Oh? How are people who are against the initiation of force, my enemies? "Who is a libertarian? A libertarian is a person who believes that no one has the right, under any circumstances, to ***initiate*** force against another human being, or to advocate or delegate its initiation. Those who act consistently with this principle are libertarians, whether they realize it or not. Those who fail to act consistently with it are not libertarians, regardless of what they may claim." -- L. Neil Smith No, I'll stick with seeing my enemies as those who are fine with initiating force against me, and/or delegating its initiation. -- - Jane Galt

Yep, and I've owned guns since moving out of my pacifist anti-gun jewish parents' home around 1970. People like that are also the reason I renounced judaism at around age 25, out of shame and disgust that people who could say "never again!" could possibly trust ANY government to protect them, and go unarmed. I see any and all unarmed jews as abject cowards, and deserving of having another Holocaust inflicted on them. -- - Jane Galt

I have both, but why reinvent the wheel when I've found others who said it much more eloquently than I? Am I expected to be as eloquent as the founding fathers, for example, to make the case as to why I should have the inalienable right to defend myself? > They are easily-led shallow thinkers because having a base of macros > allows them to present themselves as informed, but - in reality - rely > on other people to lead them to a quote base to provide what they > can't articulate themselves.
