If you believe that our rights are granted to us from a federal govt, and the Constitution is a living document to be interpreted by a infallible supreme court, then so be it.

But please enjoy the fact that WA and CO have legalized marijuana. I know that drives you authoritarian types nuts.
But the 10 amendment > than some Supreme court opinion saying that a federal drug war is "Constitutional".
Anyway, I hope at least now you understand that the 2nd wasn't to form a standing army, but to protect individuals from the abuses of one.
To understand the Bill of Rights and Constitution is to understand the reason why this country declared independence: Freedom.
