Now do you suppose the Founding Fathers envisioned

[Into the Night]

We’re slaves allowed to own guns?

Yes. It was unconstitutional for the government to ban or limit any gun from any person.

Their masters had other plans, however, being DEMOCRATS.

They created a system that was designed to respond to the wishes and needs of the changing generations
Why do you pretend they set down unchangable rules to be set in stone

The 2nd amendment has not been repealed.

It’s a government of the people not a fucking religion you loser

It is NOT a democracy. It is a republic. It is government by law (a constitution).

 

[evince]

congress does not exist to change the constitution, only work according to the rules set by it.

Go read about the amendment you fucking idiot

WHY DO YOU KEEP LYING ABOUT AMERICAN DEMOCRACY?



Because you hate democracy

 

[SmarterthanYou]

Go study the amendment process idiot

They gave the people the right to fix shit they couldn’t imagine facing the system

You want it set in stone

Fuck you

It was never intended to be set in stone

the founders did not want majority rule. they knew that idiots like you in the majority would run roughshod over the rights of the minority, you communistic moron.

 

[SmarterthanYou]

Go read about the amendment you fucking idiot

who wrote the constitution, moron.

 

[evince]

who wrote the constitution, moron.

The same folks that included ways for the population to amend what they wrote you brain matter void

 

[zymurgy]

I believe that the founding fathers envisioned exactly that.

If the writers of the constitution didn't want America to be the planet's biggest gunfight,
they'd have written a better constitution.

you retards pretending the constitution of today is anything like what we had before incorporation is hilarious

cities/counties/and states if they actually wanted to could do entire bans on weapons in the old days - the 2nd amendment was only a limitation on federal laws only until the civil war and subsequent SCOTUS fights

Only fucking idiots think America is not a democracy you Russian ass wipe

 

[evince]

Why has the Republican Party tried to insist America has nothing to do with democracy



Yet they lied us to war in Iraq in the name of democracy

 

[SmarterthanYou]

The same folks that included ways for the population to amend what they wrote you brain matter void

are you incapable of answering a simple question of refusing to acknowledge you're wrong

 

[SmarterthanYou]

Only fucking idiots think America is not a democracy you Russian ass wipe

you're avoiding the actual points that prove you're wrong. i'm not surprised

America is NOT a democracy. America is a version of Democracy, but more to the point is a Constitutional Representative Republic. The founders created a government whose first and primary responsibility is to protect the rights of the people. Not one that a persons rights can be dictated by a majority.

 

[zymurgy]

Yes. It was unconstitutional for the government to ban or limit any gun from any person.

what government? the second amendment only limited the federal government, not the states.

 

[Flash]

one of those “well regulated militia’s” walking into public facilities and gunning down sixteen innocent people with a musket?

Amazing how supposed educated jurists like Scalia, Thomas, and Alito try to justify the insanity by telling us they know what the Founding Fathers thought thru the Originalism bullshit

Irrelevant. Nothing in the Constitution prevents Congress or the states from limiting muskets (or semi-automatic rifles) and Scalia specifically ruled the 2nd does not prevent regulation. Some states do regulate or prohibit such weapons. Political decisions and not constitutional interpretation is the explanation why more of these laws do not exist. Don't blame originalism for the failure of legislative bodies to enact laws you desire.

 

[Lionfish]

Neither the Supreme Court nor Congress has authority to amend the Constitution.
Only the States have that authority. They are the owners of the thing, after all.

Thank you for the correction, I meant to say two thirds of the State legislatures cast the votes. Never underestimate what destruction the SC can do to the amendments with unfavorable rulings.

 

[Into the Night]

Do you actually give your family members guns as Christmas and Birthday presents?

Are even your holidays all about guns?

Your hoplophobia is YOUR problem.

Go learn the amendment process, twit. The 2nd amendment has NOT been repealed.

The United States never was a democracy. Neither has Canada nor Mexico. What American democracy do you speak of?

He doesn't even want democracy. He thinks an oligarchy is a democracy. He thinks republic is a democracy. He is very confused.

The 2nd amendment has not been repealed. Strawman fallacy.

Yes. It was unconstitutional for the government to ban or limit any gun from any person.

Nope. This was never the interpretation at any time in our history. Just as free speech, religion, press, and all other rights can be restricted so can the 2nd; for example, violent felons.
