Packed, Stacked and Ready to Whack

Our Constitution is currently under a greater threat than a teenaged boy at a Michael Jackson sleepover. Yes, this rock solid foundational document, a major cause of our country’s amazing success, is undergoing some serious thrashing by judges, bureaucrats, politicians, prosecutors and police. I don’t know about you … but I do not like the fact that the very people who should uphold our rights are stretching them thinner than Fiona Apple on a rack.
One of the basic human rights that constantly has to be defended is the right to keep and bear arms. Why did the original founders of this great American experiment toss this given, no-duh, entitlement into the Constitution? Well … it wasn’t so that we would be guaranteed that we could hunt squirrels and woodchucks without serving time, as great as that is. It was for the purpose of defending ourselves against perps when the cops are running a little late, and for the purpose of protecting ourselves against the government should the system go south.
What concerns me is how both the Federal and State governments, driven by rabid lawmakers, continue to be such a pain in the derriere with respect to the right to possess a firearm.
