I just hope they're wearing jack boots (whatever those are) when they do it. It would be such a let down otherwise.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

When/if it becomes a privilege I'll still enjoy it, and if my guns become illegal (which some of them have and then haven't..in a short few years), I guess I'm made a criminal by default of possession, the worst kind of offender. The only qualifications at the federal level are age related. Otherwise you have to be disqualified (i.e. felony conviction, adjudicated mentally incompetent, etc...) in order to not be allowed to keep and bear firearms.

We set "qualifications" for our rights, reasonably and justifiably so, without making them any less of a right. In contrast, public library access is a privilege which can be revoked regardless of whether or not you "qualify" for a library card. Once you set a qualification it becomes a privilege.

Two centuries of constitutional law disagree. There is no requirement, for a right, that there be no qualifications. It would be ludicrous to even conceptualize them in such a way. Does the qualification that constitutional rights apply only to human beings (and not to all human beings) make them all...suddenly, privileges?

Read wiki. Sounds to me like the courts have ruled that there are qualifying conditions.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I literally just told you that in my previous comment.......now, that there are qualifying conditions to our rights makes them...not rights? Is it the bill of privileges? If so, is there any difference at all between a right and a privilege?
