Don, forgets that we ensured our right to keep and bear arms in our

An armed populace means a government in fear.

Really? That same document ensured our right to "due process of law", but
Bush threw that one out, e.g. Padillo. Or, is the Second Amendment the
only one you care about?

I believe that the order of the amendments in the Bill of Rights are in
order of their importance. Everyone agrees on the first amendment but when
it comes to the second there are quite a few that wish it would just goaway.

Not me, I have no problem with the Second Amendment. Personally, I have
very little use for guns, but that is just me. I would disagree about the
order and importance of the Amendments, though. As I age, I am finding a
fondness for the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, especially the people parts.
