America has a gum problem, we can all agree.
That said, I feel like the right to bare arms was included specifically for overthrowing oppressive governments (and in case the British came back?).
At what point does a government become sufficiently oppressive as to be overthrown by the people? Without defining that, I feel like government can just keep employing the "but terrorists" excuse and the overton window to keep stripping us of more and more of our privacy and rights.

And, I don't have any idea where any person gets the idea that they have the right to tell another person whether or not to shave their arms. As for the second thing you said, sounds like you probably just need a little more soma.
