people want to use the founding fathers as best suits their own present day political and personal agendas. the world they lived in was a very different one than we live in today.

the right to bear arms is constitutionally protected by the Second Amendment and nobody is trying to take that right away from the People. i hate when liberals try to twist the Second Amendment to make an argument for total gun control as much as i hate when right wingers twist it to make an argument that they have a right to build a backyard nuclear bomb and rocket launchers. Restricting ownership of some types of 'arms' has passed the muster of no less than the Supreme Court of the United States.

stop crying!
That was quite the reach from what I said to the comments you made. As far as taxes and the founding fathers. The United States was formed because of high taxes imposed by the British.

If you are so fond of giving your money away I would suggest a good cause like the ASPCA.. at least there your hard earned funds will do some good and not be wasted.
