I know of anywhere in the constitution that defines the right to
privacy but we all assume it is there.
The real problem?
If the government is going to all the trouble of keeping track of
something, it is just a matter of time before they start taxing it and
then they become addicted to the tax. Minorities always get taxed the
most. You only have to look at smokers to see that. If you can believe
the left, we are in the minority and an unpopular one at that.
It is interesting that the 2A has the words "shall not be infringed"
while the others don't.
The 2A has all kinds of "interesting" words that are subject to
interpretation and debate.
For example, the first four words a
"A well regulated Militia...."
Note the word "regulated"?
It also says in the same sentence (after referring to the Militia):
"the right of *the* people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
What people? It doesn't say "all" people. It doesn't say "citizens".
This is the big debate. Some people feel it is talking about people in
the "Militia" only. Others think all people were part of the Militia,
so it applies to everyone.
Are you in the Militia? I am not.
