THE SAINTS & ANGELS DOCTRINE OF BILL OF RIGHTS

THE SAINTS and ANGELS DOCTRINE
of the BILL of RIGHTS

At SOME point in the future,
the USSC will have to analyse the combined, synergistic effects
of the Second Amendment and the "equal protection of the laws" clause of the 14th Amendment.

Was it the constitutional intendment of the Founders
that the Bill of Rights was only for the benefit of Saints and Angels,
and that less perfect citizens,
who have been ten minutes late in paying their taxes
or otherwise run afoul of the law, like Martha Stewart,
have forefeited their natural right to defend their lives ?

or that because of their youth, American citizens must permit themselves
to be slain in the discretion of mountain lions or drug addicts ?

I don 't think that 's what the Founders had in mind.
