Quote of the Day

You do not have rights you cannot defend. Rights are asserted, not granted.

The Bill of Rights is worded as guarantees, not as grants. But enforcing those guarantees is the tricky part.

I have also learned, the hard way, that unless you can defend a contract it is worthless.

They are essentially the same thing. The Bill of Rights is a contract. If you do not have the power to enforce it then any infringement is possible, or more realistically, a certainty. Keeping and bearing arms is our ultimate long-term enforcement tool of the Bill of Rights.
