I am a firm believer in the constitution. But, I feel that the nature of the "United" States ultimately puts the responsibility of the safety of the citizens as a whole to one body, i.e. the federal government. This is in contrast to the statement made by J. B. "some ONE". One should only be the option if the body is ignorant or unwilling to make the hard choices. The more we give up in the name of fear will lead to nothing more to give and plenty of things to fear.
