Kind of OT, but an interesting thought.

A friend of mine brought this up to me this morning. I thought this was good brainfood.

"Interesting question. This [health care] bill "created a right" to health insurance. Therefore they are going to mandate that everyone purchase health insurance or pay a fine. If the Supreme Court rules that the Federal Government can compel a citizen to make a purchase to exercise this "right" then why can't the government compel a citizen to exercise other rights? The 2nd Amendment is a right, why can't the government compel every citizen to purchase a gun or pay a fine?"

I see good old Brady being forced to buy a 1911 and it makes me laugh.

There's nothing stopping them, but how would arming citizens further the cause of socialism and a nanny state?
