[QUOTE="MLR, post: 1634013, member: 2176"] This is the exact reason many of the founding fathers were against the Bill of rights. They knew that instead of protecting our rights it would be used as a reason to limit them. The powers of the government were listed or enumerated powers. You have a right to free speech and to bear arms not because they are enumerated but because they were not mentioned in the original Constitution. Notice that in the second it says they right to bear arms will not be infringed. Does this not imply that the right was already there? The Constitution being quiet on an issue simply means that the government was never given the power to control it. Atleast this is how my old and barely made it through highschool brain sees it.
