    Yes, you really need to rewrite that constitution of yours and declaring something “unconstitutional” doesn’t win you an argument, it makes you look like a brainwashed idiot. Just saying.

      All the rules have been exposed as toothless and being reliant on acting earnestly in good faith. It really doesn’t work in a partisan environment and it wasn’t built for a two party system.

        Yeah, that’s what happens when a bunch of slaver bros make a pact to violently enforce their disgusting privilege.

      Yes! with any discussion, Americans are more concerned whether it’s inline with the founding fathers’ intentions, than if it makes sense in today’s world. They should focus on finding the best solution, not the most constitutional one. Every idiot running around with a gun is a bad idea in a modern city. Maybe it made sense 200 years ago on a farm. But let’s not live in the past.

        “The constitution is a list of rights”, says anyone who’s never read the actual constitution, and just skips straight to the stuff that was amended to it.

        rights are won with your life, everything else is a privilege that daddy (government) allows you to have
