..... The NRA and 2nd Amend. advocates have really put the
"fear of god" in the minds of their constituents & voters that the evil liberal empire is coming to take
all their guns away. What liberals have failed to do is remind the conservatives & public that the Constitution is a
"living document", not written in stone. In fact, the Constitution has been updated at least 26-27 times in its history. Some of the more notable ones were the way we elect our VP, Senators, and put term limits on the President's seat. And how about the 13th, 15th, 18th and 19th amendments? Talk about a lot of yelling and screaming going on back then. Freeing the slaves & allowing them to vote? Preposterous! And allowing women to vote? No way ... their job was to have babies, cook, and keep a clean home for their male superiors! And who the hell came up with the idea of prohibiting ******* sales ... hell, we've been drinking "strong drinks" since Adam & Eve, I imagine.
..... Our founding fathers realized that no governing document would be
"perfect" forever, and that there would be times when revisions & refinements would be necessary. Regarding the 2nd Amendment, guns were necessary, as a new, developing country, to hunt game (no grocery stores back then), fight off the Indians from THEIR land (no wild Indians today except on payday on the reservations), and maintaining a quick militia to fight off invading countries (none invading us today) unless you consider the illegal Hispanics, as Trump does, as invaders. Back then, however, they used flintlock rifles & pistols, but with the continuing development & refinement of our "guns" to rapid fire, we must again ask ourselves
"should the public have an unfettered right to have unrestricted access to the guns on today's market?" The gun laws & rights have changed over time ... in the 18th & 19th century one didn't need a license or do a background check to buy & carry a *******.
..... The statistical data available says its time to revisit our rights to bear arms again. Surely conservatives will be willing to sit at the table and again consider a new approach/law to curb the wrongful use of the weapons our gun makers are producing now. Afterall, its to the NRA's advantage to continue creating
FEAR of government taking guns away that keeps THEM alive, and they don't give one rat's ass about any of you
"2nd Amendment" lovers except to help THEM sell more guns. Encouraging more people to BUY guns to survive only creates a
larger base of gun users who will resort to gun use a lot sooner because they
HAVE one on them ... not a good solution at all. Don't you folks really think that it is NRA power & money that keeps this issue from really being solved sensibly?
