[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1156652, member: 1132"] Actually, I see a lot of misguided encroachments on the BoR by my employers. I do what I can to offset that mentality, which is difficult at times. For all the training we get, we get none on the BoR, 2nd Amendment, 4th Amendment, etc. When fusion centers are listing the flying of the American flag as a possible sign of anti-government types, we have a problem. I do not believe the BoR to be a living document. I do not believe in watering it down, altering its application, etc. based on current events. There's a perfectly good mechanism in place to modify or alter it. Its called the Amendment process, and its tough to implement on purpose. In the time of the Founding Fathers, there were privateers with merchant warships. That's more firepower than the current state of the 2nd Amendment allows without heavy regulation. Mike Dillon has a Navy jet fighter with a live 20mm cannon, do you think it should be illegal for him to own it? I think the founders interacted plenty. They weren't all isolated on their farms. Many of them sat down regularly, in taverns and other establishments. Tun Tavern saw plenty of activity, being the place of origin for the St. George's Society, St. Andrew's Society, the Pennsylvania Militia, some of the first meetings of the Masons and the Continental Congress. Let's not forget the birthplace of one of the greatest organizations ever invented either, The United States Marine Corps! :) The automobile replaced the horse, but I believe the founders would be mounting weapons on them today if they were around. They would marvel at the destructive power of our weapons, and probably wonder why we were still at war. But these are merely differences of scale and scope, not ideals or beliefs. While I respect your opinion, I do not agree with it. It's these very encroachments that devalue our morals and ethics. The slope has become ever more slippery since the industrial revolution began. Perhaps if we had stayed true to the founders all these years, we wouldn't be in the predicament we are today? :anyone: [/QUOTE]
