IOW you're contradicting yoourself yet again. I do but, except...I dont.

Our Bill of Rights is written in very plain english, it needs no
"interpreting", in fact that very notion came with the start of the
"Progressive" movement about 110 years ago, of a flexible "living"
Constitution that could be molded to the socialist agenda.

Before that, the purpose of the Supreme Court was to test laws to see if they
met Constitutional muster.

Oh? How are people who are against the initiation of force, my enemies?

"Who is a libertarian?
A libertarian is a person who believes that no one has the right, under any
circumstances, to ***initiate*** force against another human being, or to
advocate or delegate its initiation. Those who act consistently with this
principle are libertarians, whether they realize it or not. Those who fail to
act consistently with it are not libertarians, regardless of what they may
claim." -- L. Neil Smith

No, I'll stick with seeing my enemies as those who are fine with initiating
force against me, and/or delegating its initiation.

That's why they teach it at concealed carry classes. I had a whole 5 hours
of classroom training, plus 3 hours at the range doing an IDPA range
course.

We agree on that.

For the people who think that government can be trusted but individuals
cant.

Yep, and I've owned guns since moving out of my pacifist anti-gun jewish
parents' home around 1970. People like that are also the reason I renounced
judaism at around age 25, out of shame and disgust that people who could
say "never again!" could possibly trust ANY government to protect them, and
go unarmed. I see any and all unarmed jews as abject cowards, and deserving
of having another Holocaust inflicted on them.

I have both, but why reinvent the wheel when I've found others who said it
much more eloquently than I?

Am I expected to be as eloquent as the founding fathers, for example, to make
the case as to why I should have the inalienable right to defend myself?

Yada yada BS.

No comrade, I've already explained that I favor small government, not
anarchy.

But the likes of you might enjoy it more in Cuba or North Korea.. if you
survived it.
