There is NO person or entity that allows a right........it's inherent with your birth.being allowed to bear arms
Seems kinda like a privilege what happens if you get a felony you lose that RIGHT even after you do your time in prison for what you did. Im all for the second A.Monkeynts said:No im not that monkeynts im only on three forum boards Marlin owners Turtle times and psn.
The relationship is that the patriot act violates our forth and not having arms would violate our second.Gohon said:??? I don't see any relationship between the two. Each does something the other cannot do. Both are valuable and offer a type of protection that does not overlap.
I disagree with you and agree with "Endowed by our Creator".Monkeynts said:But bearing arms isn't a god given right. Breathing is.
That's your opinion. The Supreme court doesn't agree with you.The relationship is that the patriot act violates our forth
Yeah cause we all know the supreme court never violates our rights.Gohon said:That's your opinion. The Supreme court doesn't agree with you.
The patriot act really violates the 1st amendment right to freedom of speech. That was the whole point of it, to spy on people that could possibly be terrorists. Here's what you have to understand, during the bush administration the patriot act was never used against American Citizens, and no ones rights were ever violated. It is the current administration that has used the patriot act to spy on "right wing homegrown terrorist teabaggers". People often forget the 2nd amendment is a God given right. The bible says man has the right to defend himself in any means possible; since this country was founded on judeo christian beliefs, our founding fathers based many of our rights in the constitution off of those beliefs. The 2nd amendment though is not to protect you from crooks, or to go out and shoot ducks. It is to defend yourself against a tyrannical government and to allow the citizens of the United States to take up arms against tyranny be it their own government, or a foreign nation attacking this country with it's own ground troops. The 2nd amendment is the most IMPORTANT amendment in all of the constitution, and people often forget without it you have no other means of protecting the constitution.Monkeynts said:Yeah cause we all know the supreme court never violates our rights.
Please explain that. I'm not aware of any terrorist spawning from the Tea party, right or left wing. The OP was correct though as the Patriot Act was about the fourth amendment, not the first amendment. Of course I could have missed something which wouldn't be the first time.It is the current administration that has used the patriot act to spy on "right wing homegrown terrorist teabaggers
You mean prior to the gutting of the CIA and covert operations we never knew about, and before the event of the internet sites that are up one minute and gone the next, or even disposable cell phones that are purchased in stores for cash, good for a short length of time and trashed when they expire. Those days were gone a long time ago and couldn't possible be used in today's modern tech world. Even with the Patriot Act and the use of a instant tap, a warrant signed and issued by a judge must be obtained in something like 48 hours or so.How many years and incidence has occurred since the formation of this nation without the Patriot Act?
The Patriot Act isn't used by local law enforcement and certainly not the military. If I'm not mistaken it is used by the Feds such as Homeland Security.Why would there need to be a law in place to help our law enforcement or military to gather info
No...........but maybe you could expand on this a little.The terrorist might just gain enough control with the help of a President who is of foreign origin and use it against the people of this nation to the benefit of the terrorist nations. Does this sound familiar?
Doesn't make sense.......acts of war and tyranny are two different things. Of course the Patriot Act wouldn't protect use from tyranny as the government itself which controls the Patriot Act would be the instigators of tyranny. Acts against this country from terrorist both home grown and outside this country is what the Patriot act was set up for. The patriot Act has many safeguards built into it to protect the average citizen. My privacy is in more danger of some punk sitting in front of a home computer trying to hack into my computer than I am from the Patriot act.Laws made to gain info. for war time efforts seem to me as nonsense. Did we have to do that any other time for protecting us from tyranny ?
Clinton didn't introduce a Patriot Act. What he introduced was the Ombnibus Bill that did gather information but....and this is the but the Republicans objected to....if the terrorist was caught or captured then the terrorist would only be treated as a law enforcement issue. In other words, tried in the US in a federal court."Conservatives" were all up in arms when the law that was to become the Patriot Act was originally introduced...under Clinton.
