I didn't mention the 2nd, did I? I tried to keep that one to a couple of points: morals, and concern for innocents.
The 2nd is NOT the font from which the right to go armed flows. The very nature of humans, as free individuals, is. The 2nd simply points out a good reason why the general government's delegated authority over war oughtn't be used as an excuse to infringe upon the preexisting rights of the people. |
