Re: 2nd Amendment misunderstood?
The various rights we have as individuals have some important interplay. For example, even if we have a 2nd amendment right to keep and bear arms, what's to keep the government from coming into your home and just taking them? Yes, the 2nd amendment sets forth the individual right, but the 4th amendment provides: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated . . . " The Constitution sets out checks, balances, restraints, and limited powers granted the feds. Yet we are still very much dependent upon the good faith of the feds to keep their oaths to uphold the Constitution. Very unfortunately, we have an oath breaker in the White House, followed by minions of toads in his administration.
