Gun control is great for police states and criminals. For honest law abiding people though, it kinda sucks.
The right should have thought about that before they chose a clown to run for president.
NOW, to the victors go the spoils. Bullet Control
You don't get to strip Constitution rights just because you won an election
When you win the Oval Office, AND control the Senate, you get to appoint Supreme Court Justices favorable to your political poisitions .. AND, Hillary Clinton will get to appoint many.
The Constitution is outdated .. and like Thomas Jefferson, I believe the Constitution should be re-written every 19 years.
Nope. The Constitution works just fine. Your idea is insane.
The "end Constitutional originalism" argument basically boils down to a familiar gambit; that we are better ruled by extemporaneous decisions which accommodate current conditions (usually a crisis) rather than try to live by time-tested precedents.
This is one of the more dangerous arguments, but one I could plainly see had seduced Barack Obama when he nominated Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. That was a truly bad day for America.
Why is this dangerous? Simple. If a totalitarian wanted to make a power grab during a crisis (as many Presidents have tried to do), he would be better able to justify his actions by claiming to be a modern man dealing with modern problems and that antiquated precedents are a nuisance and an obstacle to achieving what he has convinced enough sheep are the necessary goals for the "good of the people". Just look at Bush and Obama for recent examples.
This is yet one more of many reasons why every living soul on the planet should read Alexis de Tocqueville's
Democracy in America.
