Tivodan1116: Yes, the "Second" amendment wasn't.
What? Is it a person?
And the Framers probably never envisioned "speech" to include typing on computers and sending the text over wires to the world, but here we are.
Granted. Nor did they envision K-street.
I am all for an amendment to the Constitution. If you think you can get an Amendment passed repealing the 2nd, go for it. But an end run around it is just nonsense.
I disagree. We should not be subject to the inflexible tyranny of a document ratified by men long dead on an issue if the mass majority of us won't dain to overthrow one of their dictates. Rather we should allow their document to morph to fit modern sensibilities. To quote Thomas Jefferson "The Earth belongs to the living and not to the dead." He by the way thought that judicial review was unconstitutional. Where would we be without it?
