Eventually when the government owns most of the country - carry will be illegal in most of the country - just like religious expression (other than Christan of course) will also be unconstitutional due to the elimination (i mean separation) of church from state.

I read today of a rally near Washington, in a national park, where people carried loaded guns, supported by the law President Obama recently signed.
Let's assume the Supreme Court affirms a general right of citizens to carry loaded firearms.
The poll question is, should we be allowed to carry a loaded assault rifle on a tour of the White House, Senate chambers, and House chambers?
Yeah, I know some will say we should carry them ESPECIALLY there. But seriously, what do you think? What should be the limits, if any, to the right to bear arms?


Mr. Berq,

You are confusing civil rights with national security. The argument is flawed. Try again.
