The god given right is self defense - the constitution is a man made protection which the Iraqi people do not posses. The NRA is a constitutional defense organization and marksmanship club.

With friends like us....... "Did Obama agree to expose British nuke secrets in START pact? Share posted at 8:53 am on February 5, 2011 by Ed Morrissey printer-friendly How desperate was Barack Obama to sign a new START agreement with Russia? Until now, we just thought his desperation went far enough to hamper our missile-defense system in eastern Europe. According to Wikileaks, the Poles and the Czechs aren't the only allies to feel the sting of an American betrayal: >>> Information about every Trident missile the US supplies to Britain will be given to Russia as part of an arms control deal signed by President Barack Obama next week. Defence analysts claim the agreement risks undermining Britain's policy of refusing to confirm the exact size of its nuclear arsenal. The fact that the Americans used British nuclear secrets as a bargaining chip also sheds new light on the so-called "special relationship", which is shown often to be a one-sided affair by US diplomatic communications obtained by the WikiLeaks website.<<< The rest of the revelations from this round of published diplomatic cables are nowhere near as explosive. The worst among them was a revelation that the US spied on the British Foreign Office by "gathering gossip," apparently for later use in pressuring diplomats to cooperate with our efforts. The Duchess of York, Sarah "Fergie" Ferguson, embarrasses the British government, and millions of pounds in foreign aid got spent on personal amenities by despots and dictators. And in other news, water is wet. The revelation about the deal with the Russians is huge, however. According to the Telegraph's report on the cables, the Obama administration asked permission of the British government to share the details of their nuclear program, and were refused. The Obama administration agreed to do it anyway without letting the UK know. We apparently will hand over all of the serial numbers of the Trident nuclear missiles we sell to the Brits so that Russia can keep track of them. This means that the UK's relatively small but ambiguous nuclear deterrent can be more easily calculated, and perhaps neutralized if the necessity arises. This is a disgrace, of course. Remember when Obama the candidate insisted that he would restore our standing with friends and allies after the supposedly inept diplomacy of the Bush administration? We do not increase our standing among friends or foes when we stab the former in the back for the sake of the latter. Instead, we look craven, disloyal, and inept. Regardless of what Obama thinks of American nuclear deterrents and policy, he has no right to undermine the policies of our closest ally and stalwart friend, especially as they fight with us in Afghanistan. Congress should immediately investigate this, and if possible the Senate should revoke its ratification of START." hotair.com
