This idea is tailor-made for our region, which is very politically
conservative place. It's based on the US Constitution, and the original
intent of the Founding Fathers.
2nd
Amendment - "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."
Therefore ,
if the Government constructs obstacles to you owning a gun or
ammunition, your civil rights are being violated. The US Supreme Court
has recently been overturning gun laws in Washington DC and Chicago
based exactly on this principle.
"Congress
shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
If
the Government establishes obstacles to you possessing the holy
scripture of your choice, or to you building a church, they are
violating your rights. If the Government establishes obstacles to you
owning a printing press, they are violating your rights.
Now let's look at "the right of the people peaceably to assemble".
What
if the government establishes obstacles to you "assembling" with other
citizens in your community? Remember, the technology of the 18th century
for "assembling" was WALKING. Could it be construed that the Government
is violating this basic human right of yours?
