I am at a loss on how it is that you believe your 'rights' cant be taken away. They were 'given' by the men who set up the country, and were fought for very valiantly. They may be taken at any time we let them. If big brother says 'no more guns', there will be no more guns. (or another revolution, new constitution, lots of death, lots of destruction, etc. until someone wins)
a 'right' is nothing more than the law gives us. They can all be changed. It's up to us to keep or change them the way we see fit. If the voice of the people changes their opinion, good bye to those 'rights'.
Japanese folks had equal 'rights', right up until their home land bombed the US, then they had their 'rights' taken, and we shoved them into camps.
Trust me man I am at just as much of a loss with what seems to be the general consensus here. I dont know anyones background here but I know mine in heavy part has been an serving faithfully an oath to that constitution, in large part because I strongly believe in the rights it protects, in which seems to be fairly disregarded here. An oath I guess I take too seriously for Utahns. I guess these privileges you guys speak of (because get it straight you guys are not talking about rights) are like sex and air.... You won't truly appreciate them till they are taken from you...
Anywho... So if big brother said no more free speech, no more freedom of the press, no more freedom of religion. Then poof gone? Get the hell out. There are more rights then to keep and bear arms. You Also, peoples opinion? Jesus Christ on a crutch... You do realize the US is not a democracy, right?
I guess we would a separate pocket for our free speech card, and our right to assemble card, and don't even think of attending a church without your religion card (assuming of course you passed your tolerance training first).
If you don't want to get searched for no reason make sure you have paid for a 4th amendment warrants required card.
If you do get charged with a crime you better hope you have applied for and been granted your 5th Amendment privileges card, otherwise a judge can summarily pass judgement and sentence you upon a mere accusation, you will be required to give evidence against yourself. Also don't forget that without your 5th amendment license the government can take any of your property at anytime with no compensation.
Of course they may not even bother with a judge if you don't have proof of your 6th amendment certification. The police can just arrest you and you never see the light of day again, or they could export your case from Nebraska to California where they have that judge they really like there.
If you think a trial by jury of your peers is more fair than a single man passing sentence, then I highly recommend a 7th amendment permit. Just take the course, pass the test, and pay the fee.
Then again assuming they even bother with convicting you of a crime, you better hope your yearly 8th amendment privileges certification has been renewed otherwise you could be flogged forty lashes with a cat-o-nine tails and fined one million dollars for jaywalking.
Finally none of that may matter if you haven't paid a fee to invoke your 9th and 10th amendment privileges, otherwise all matters not pertaining to the previous permitting process mentioned in the previous eight amendments will be handled in accordance with the sole discretion and total authority of the federal government.
Because hey. All of the above are just privileges that can be taken whenever the masses decide.... Right?
