And no, I don't believe they had to specifically mention all the rights the people are entitled to. That's what the Ninth Amendment was for. But to use the general welfare clause to imply that everybody gets the services of a doctor, nurse or hospital free of charge, is to seriously misunderstand the Constitution and everything the Founders established.

It's like that huh? I am more than willing to refer to them as "automatic weapons" if that makes you feel better. Oh and how about the government has got better weapons, and I want a rocket luncher.
Seriously dude, the highlighted text is one big incoherent statement. You affirm that they don't have to mention everything specifically, you refer to service rendered by the government as "free of charge" and then proceed to throw in baseless rhetoric about not understanding the Constitution and the Founders intentions.
My father always told me "never misrepresent yourself."
