I have this suspicion that an "iron-clad reason why Lasersailor doesn't have to pay income taxes according to this guy he talked to" is hidden somewhere behind the scenes.

Bam, Chairboy nailed it.

I would give him a highfive, but I have a revolution to plan.

Oh, and the information given to me was not from my friend. My friend gave me a website with the info on it.

This may sound like a silly idea, but your local library will have a ton of books on the subject, and if you ask nicely the old lady behind the counter will probably help you out with finding one with all the answers.

I'm good now. I found the answer I was looking for.

Considering that the typical education of the masses then was close to nothing I bet it was for the better that the people did not take part for the most part. But now I think the opposite.

Irwin Schiff still around? I remember attending a talk that he put on in the 70's about this..then he disappeared for a while

Fortunately, Yale provides the information you are looking for on their website.

Go here, scroll down and click on the various links for each state as well as the letter from the Secretary of the Congress to each State Governor.

In New York's, Virginia's and Rhode Island's ratifcation: "That the People have a right to keep and bear Arms; that a well regulated Militia, including the body of the People capable of bearing Arms, is the proper, natural and safe defence of a free State;"

In New Hampshire's: "Congress shall never disarm any Citizen unless such as are or have been in Actual Rebellion"

It's interesting that several states specifically mention the right to bear arms in their ratification documents, lending credence to the argument that it was an important right to be respected.

My regards,

Widewing

Widewing, I'm a personal fan of the wording choice for the Pennsylvania "Bill of Rights."

"The right to bear arms, for personal defense or defense of state, shall not be questioned."

Could to a google search on the very questions you asked using terms like

The process in which the US constitution was ratified

Or you could use a more basic search of

History of the US Consitution

Since nobody else is giving Lasersailor the opening he's looking for, I'll help out:

Tell us more about this tax loophole you've found, it sounds fascinating!
