In all reality, the more i look into it, the more I see timely events happening to persuade/brainwashing us to giving that right up. Given the history of our government, this would not surprise me one bit. Look at the events that brought us into WW1, 2, Vietnam, Iraq. All events that were either allowed or setup to happen in order to infuriate the public into sitting back and supporting/allowing reactions that otherwise wouldn't be. How we just allowed the Patriot Act to be rushed through without anyone even reading what it was. How our whole f'n Navy were stationed in one place....and we knew the Japanese were coming. I damn sure hope the people in congress do not start a domino effect of laws effectively eliminating one of the most vital rights in our country, though that sure seems primed to happen :(
