"Privileged sectors of society, Congress and senators who live by different laws than the people who elect them" are nothing new to our society, nor are they tyrannical in nature; they're just unfair. The President has never declared war. The other actions you note have (AFAIK) all been implemented legally.The bill of rights means what it says, not what who ever in power at the moment decides it means. Maybe you read it like this. A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state the right of the people to own antiquated sporting arms deemed legal by who ever is in power at the time shall not be infringed . I thought justice was blind in this country not determined by your pocket book or ones level in government. I guess the prez not the congress, which is legally bound by the Constitution to declare war can send the military in and kill lots of people and call it a police action or what ever and it magically becomes a none war. The president use to ask congress to declare war but today it isn't even a formality. You may think the actions I noted above are legal but I must respectfully disagree with you.
