What a total fail by this woman. Her argument is based on a view in diametric opposition to the base philosophy of this country. She refers to the Constitution "allowing" "privileges" and existing to limit societal behavior.
The Constitution exists to limit the government, not the people.
She's convinced that she's right, and worse, there are far too many people whose understanding of American civics is thus flawed.
And there is no comment function on that site to challenge her directly.
GAH. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
