The 1st amendment gives americans the right to speek up about Goverment Tyranny and the 2nd gives them the tools to protect them selfs from Goverment Tyranny. Do you think our founding fathers had an idea what the future could hold? Happy Bill Of Rights Day!!
I'm sure somebody else can explain this more eloquently, but I don't believe the Bill of Rights "gives" us these rights. These are rights that cannot be taken away. A subtle difference, but an important one, IMHO.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
How's this for eloquent?
