Will Feds Gut the Second Amendment?
Bill Huff / LewRockwell.com:
We The People, through our agents, the States of the Union, formed the federal government to protect our lives and our property, and to do all other lawful acts within the bounds of their jurisdiction and the specific written set of instructions found in Article I, Section 8. Then, We and the States of the Union, retained all of the rights that were not explicitly surrendered. Therefore if anything is indefinite it would be the expanse of our retained rights – and Not the limited, delegated, enumerated, specific, separate and distinct powers conferred upon government. Those five terms prescribing the bounds of the lawful powers of government are prominent in the writings of the Founders and Framers. Imagine how constricted the powers of the federal government really are, under written law, when all five of these principles are consistently integrated.
