For the gun rights advocates visiting DU, just in case you happen on this post, please remember that the Bill of Rights including your right to possess and bear arms is a web of rights.

If you do not have the Fourth Amendment right of privacy in your papers, person and things, you cannot have a Second Amendment right to possess and bear arms.

And the basic, the first and foremost right in the Constitution is the right to habeas corpus, the right to a trial with a jury of your peers, and the right to be given notice of the charges against you as well as the time and place of your trial, the right to be heard and the right to a lawyer. Further, your right to bear arms depends on your right of free assembly and your right to speech.

No one right listed in the Bill of Rights can be protected without the other rights. It is a fabric, a web of rights.

As Michael Moore explained, if you puncture a small hole in your roof, a little water drips in, and over time, that hole becomes larger and larger until you have no roof and water in your house.

The NDAA makes the Bill of Rights unenforceable.

I hope everyone will watch this. It is long and technical, but we all need to understand what is going on.
