    Many people have 'Obama phones.' Most commonly, the cited reason for this has been that telecommunications and internet access are considered a utility essential to 'the pursuit of happiness' or prosperity. Oiow, a financial blockage of access to a civil right is unconstitutional- we have a collective responsibility to ensure that everyone is capable of exercising their rights (this isn't necessarily my position, but it is a common one). This also why you are provided a lawyer when officially accused of a crime.

    So why can't poor people who lack the financial means to arm themselves get government assistance to purchase arms? Is the Second Amendment only for the wealthy?
