But machine guns, the NRA and thier millions of rubes running around with loaded weapons do tend to hide behind Article II. I always thought that allowing Bush to shred the constitution without rising up invalidated their claim to constitutional protection. keep to the Fen Causeway

Which reminds me of how the U.S. cheated in what we call the War of 1812. The USS Constitution, "Old Ironsides," was classified as a Frigate but was actually substantially bigger than British frigates of the time. Thus, when a British frigate captain engaged her--following the rules of engagement regarding comparative sizes and quantities of ships--he was at an automatic disadvantage. The brits didn't figure this out for a while, but when they did they defined a whole new classification of ships: Big Frigates. We have had you Europeans snookered for a couple of centuries now... :-)
