With the exception of the Second Amendment, you and I have more in common, that I have in common with the right-wing on this board. Did you see me slam them yesterday for attacking the people's right to peaceful assembly in New York? They love the Second Amendment, but don't give a shit about the First Amendment. The First Amendment is should serve as justification against imposing their religious views on us.
No, you and I have almost nothing in common. I am an intelligent liberal, you are a right wing moron. You are a liar and an ignorant grunt who doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground. You claim an understanding of the Federalist Papers, when you are not even cognizant of the fact the Federalist Papers were an argument FOR not against federal government. Or an understanding of the editorial tools used by Hamilton to argue FOR, not against a standing army.
You claim Obama declared Occupy Wall Street organizers Terrorists. That is a LIE. And then you have the nerve to cite sick people like Hannity, Beck and Malkin who absolutely DESPISE and LOATHE the OWS participants.
Obama is not coming after your guns. But, if the President asked me, I'd tell him a moron like you shouldn't be allowed to own a slingshot.

My bold.
I'm sorry, such a claim to unfettered intelligence does not hold any weight amidst such arrogance. You are a liberal who wouldn't know reality if it gave you a lapdance. You obviously never read Federalist No. 45 have you?
Here, James Madison clarifies that these papers, nor the Constitution enlarge the Government, but make it more efficient in it's duties.
Madison wrote that the new Constitution does not in principle enlarge the powers of the Federal government, but merely renders that government more effective in carrying out its existing duties:
"If the new Constitution be examined with accuracy, it will be found that the change which it proposes consists much less in the addition of NEW POWERS to the Union, than in the invigoration of its ORIGINAL POWERS. The regulation of commerce, it is true, is a new power; but that seems to be an addition which few oppose, and from which no apprehensions are entertained. The powers relating to war and peace, armies and fleets, treaties and finance, with the other more considerable powers, are all vested in the existing Congress by the articles of Confederation. The proposed change does not enlarge these powers; it only substitutes a more effectual mode of administering them."
Such a statement made clear that there were restrictions placed on the growth of government as to not infringe on the rights of the people. Intelligence is a heavily bandied about word with your kind, I suggest you practice it.
WOW Einstein. An intelligent person would actually read and comprehend what I said, and not project their bias and dogma into a response. WHERE do I say anything about size, scope, or powers of a federal government? What I said is: "the Federalist Papers were an argument FOR not against federal government"
Do you dispute that claim Einstein??
