[quote=Willravel;2570800]If you can show me where I wrote "drop outs" I'll go buy a gun right now.
Grammar wasn't as well regulated then as it is now. That's the simple truth. [/QUOTE
I don't know what college or university that james madison got his degree from, but i'm pretty sure it was 'regulated'. I'm still dumbfounded to see you sit here and try to claim that the founders were somehow less literate than we are today.

the 'state militias' were the citizens of that state will. there was no national guard back then. When the militia was called, farmers and townsfolk grabbed their muskets, not enlisted soldiers of the virginias 83rd infantry reserve.

your right to life is absolute, up until you break a law that violates anothers right. If you violate anothers right, then you are subject to fines and imprisonment, even death through due process of law. That is not a limitation or restriction. It's a fine line, but a very visible one. in other words, through due process of law, you lose a right. Through limits, you have less of a right.
