Clue for the Court?

Submitted by scott cockrell, Nov 27, 2007 04:35

i've pushed the answer on every person i know,the n.r.a.,glenn beck and my state's elected offices.i found the answer.this case should have never made it to the supreme court.the federalist's papers have three authors-two of which signed the declaration of independense and the constitution-with the amending bill of rights.the third author was only the first american supreme court justice!two of these people,beleived if the conolies lost the war for independense,they would be hanged as traitors.all agree on guns.paul revere rode and shouted.this was to alert his neighbors-of british soldiers arriving to confiscate their guns.these people knew something.when your government wants your weapons,that is the beginning of your end-and a government can't overrule the creator.in today's world,some may say"we evolved",rather than we were created,but it doesn't matter what you believe.the people that founded our nation,believed rights were not granted by this new government,but were present at a person's birth.in 1776,people were aware that crime happened to the defenseless first,and any system of governing would abuse it's own citizens eventually.
