Here is where UG's assertions about democracies and sacred rights bump into each other.

If, as he maintains, an absolute and unambiguous Constitutional right to bear arms is at the very foundation of a democracy and a democracy cannot exist without it, then by that measure, the new democracy in Iraq is a failure.

The Iraqi constitution identifies many basic rights....free speech, free press, free association, freedom of religion, protection against search and seizure, etc.......even a right to guaranteed work, a living wage and health care.

But no specific language in the Constitution guaranteeing a right to bear arms.

UG...would that make that new Iraq democracy a failure?
