I believe that the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution is one of those provisions, like the Electoral College and the District of Columbia, which may have made sense in colonial America, but is obsolete today. The second amendment says: "A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." |

| NO NO NO it is not about hunting period. it is there to try to keep an unruly gov. in line. God help us if it ever comes to that win or lose life as we know will never be the same. if it is obsolete then outlaw printing presses, censor freedom of speech and how many other amendments |

| The electoral college balances regional interests. Don't think I'd like the metros deciding to ban using lead as a fishing weight in my country home pond, or that wolves were beneficial around my sheep ranch, or San Francisco deciding I needed to pay taxes in Alabama to support murdering the unborn. Bad enough as is, worst if we eliminate time honored balances. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
