As log as people with guns and elaborate security systems protect the ruling elite, the average citizen should have the same rights. This is just another double standard imposed by politicians. Same as Obamacare, good enough for you but not us. Same with their perks and retirement system. They get a raise every year unless they decide to vote against it……

I could go on and on. The Constitution included the right to bear arms to protect us against violence and criminals, especially the ones who pose as politicians. JohnBarleycorn

Always has been one of my favorite Founding Fathers. A trip to Monticello really impressed me. While he did have slaves, their quarters were much better than most freemen. He educated each of them in a trade, so that when they were freed,they would have a means of support. Most of the were literate.

By his actions and philosophy regarding the rights of the individual over the state, he remains one of my favorites. Even his home is now managed by a private company and not by the government.
