Re: Convince me that constitutional carry is a good thing

And if any government ever gets sidetracked into thinking that they have inherent authority not granted by the people, such that the government actually becomes destructive of the people's God given rights (as opposed to just balancing competing rights), then the people have every right to abolish that government, by force if needed, and create a new government in it's place. If it comes to this, then the people should be able to clearly lay out their thought process and how they reached such a drastic conclusion, especially if the government in question is one that was long established.
Maybe I'm getting old but it seems to me that more than 3/4 of the federal laws have no basis in the actual constitution, as written and legitimately amended. At times the balance seems closer to 90% unconstitutional. If so, then such a government has no moral authority nor legal authority under said constitution.
