[QUOTE="Txwalt, post: 403084, member: 5970"] People tend to forget that our forefathers basically created the 1st and 2nd amendment so the government they were creating could be overthrown by the people if it became to oppressive. Freedom of the press. Right to bear arms shall not be infringed. Illegal search and siezure. They were leaving a ground work for us so that if the government reached to far we could slap the wrist or slap it back to the starting line. They new that if the government became to oppresive we would not be able to overthrow it. I believe it was Jefferson that said a revolution every 30 or 40 years would be healthy for the country. The end of the Civil war did a lot to empower the federal government and hinder states rights. I'm not advocating a revolution by any means. I do support what our Founding Fathers did and their philosopy. I will be against any law that infringes on the rights that our founders intended us to have. This is just my take on history and not meant to be political. I wish you all a very happy 4th of July. I hope everyone takes a moment to think about some of the sacrifices that were made to make this the greatest country in the world(I'll have a little chat with my younguns about this). For those of you who are not Americans, you can't help where you were born ;-) :lol: God bless America, Walt Walt [/QUOTE]
