Stupidest Piece I've Seen Today

Alright, thanks TN, for the quotes, and possibly that is what the founders meant. They also allowed us to change/add Amendments to keep up with the times. They also owned slaves. Did we have to hold onto slavery for old times sake? Don't think so.

Well, that was a refreshingly interesting discussion on the merits, as usual.

It has no merits. The person either:

A. Lacks the grey matter to understand that the 2nd amendment isn't about guns
B. Knows full well that the the 2nd amendment isn't about guns, and just doesn't like the implications of the real intent.

Either way, I'm not going to act like this is some foray into constitutional intellectualism.

Are you really equating slavery with the right to bear arms?

I'm sure Hillary applauds.

Why the 2nd Amendment Applies Only to Your Muskets and Dueling Pistols

That's like saying free speech only applies if you speak or write in an 18th century manner.

What a bunch of fucking dumb-asses, liberals, they have to be the stupidest people on planet Earth.

A fart on Ye, Soggy in NOLA

I'm saying we can change the document, is what I'm saying, and that we have in the past.
This was a good talk. I learned something.

Thanks for the reminder that reasonable people still exist in the world. Hang out here and it's easy to forget.

You think that saying our BoR is only legit if we consider the timeline, is reasonable?
I think a better word would be desperation. Or ignorant. Perhaps even completely moronic. But reasonable?
Do you think free speech doesn't count if we text it? Or email it? OR flash lights on our cars to warn people of cops?

It was tongue in cheek, TN. It had no serious intent. However, I tend to agree the Founding Fathers might rethink the 2nd Amendment if they could see the weaponry we allow to be amassed in the name of freedom, particularly since it is not necessary for a militia any longer.
I could be wrong; perhaps they were total revolutionaries who intentionally wanted an armed populace to overthrow the government. I kinda doubt it, though. Anyway, we'll never know unless a REALLY good psychic is able to contact Thomas Jefferson et al.
I do appreciate the question not involving body parts, however.

Yes, you would be wrong. They would be appalled by the immorality and the un-Christian idiocy of our populace, and they would be appalled by the fact that we have allowed our courts, our law enforcement, and our senate to be overrun by criminals who work hard to maintain the very things they were willing to die to end under George III.

Good luck repealing the second amendment, you can't "change" it.
