Amendment 28
In light of recent jack-booted thuggery indulged in by officials of the government of the United States, I propose the following amendment to the Constitution of such:
Amendment 28: A peaceful and restful nights sleep, being necessary for the pursuit of happiness of a free nation, the right of the people to jam a two-by-four under their front doorknob, shall not be infringed.
As worded, I wonder if in the future at some point they'll argue that this amendment somehow only applies to a "collective right"? I suppose that depends on whether at that time the Second Amendment is worth the paper it's written on.

Sorry, but you're not allowed to protect yourself with an "assault weapon".
pn nj, I'm not quite sure what you're getting at. Please expand so we can have a discussion!
how about an amendment forcing the government to abide by the constitution,or be jailed?
CF, I think you just had a drive by commenting.
Here's the kicker. I'd be willing to bet, if an intruder tried to break in your house by kicking in the door and broke his leg because you had the door jammed, he sue you and win.
And if you were to whack someone upside the noggin with a frozen grouper, does that make it an 'assault fish'?

Just a lame joke about your evil 2x4.
Heh, I thought that might be the case, but I wasn't sure. I tell lame jokes all the time. :)
A joke about the intruder who broke his leg trying to kick in the door would indeed be a lame joke.
My concern about the proposed amendment would be the interpretation. Would there be an enforcement loophole relating to the fact that today's lumberyard nominal "2 x 4" does not in fact measure two inches by four inches?
