OF course they do, and they've convinced most folks that
it's futile anyway.  PEople forget waht the 9th and 10th are all about,
i.e. the 9th, rights not enumerated as belonging
to the people shall not limit those to the only rights, and
10 of course, rights not granted the people or the federal
government are states' rights.  States give up those rights, often for
money.  Look at how they did seatbelt laws, the 55 mph speed limit, etc. 
Want them highway funds?

YEah, I liked that too.  I like gun control, I like hitting
one's target.

YEs I am very aware of that, makes me a bit jittery
sometimes.  But, often they don't have to go that far,
there's this money thing.

I'm with you on the 20 years part, but I was stupid enough
as a young man to leave offspring behind.  Scary world my
grandson gets to inherit.
