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.

Well sir, it appears I have met match. Any efforts to debate you would be futile. Back to building cars!
