What's most interesting is that corrupt politicians are major opponents of First and Second Amendments, that are created primarily to protect us from corrupt politicians.
I have no problem with the Second Amendment. I'm all for well-regulated militias... I was a member of one for years.
The real amendment that has been screwed is the third Amendment, which prevents a militarized occupation of civilian areas in peacetime.
Something we threw out the window when we armed cops like soldiers and tolerate 1000 Americans being shot in the street every year.
