It looks like both sides agree that the Constitution needs to be revised/amended to deal with the situations as they are today

And libs suck on goverment like it’s a pacifier.

A complex and nuanced explanation why one would be a liberal. But I found it too long. Maybe edit a bit?

If it were up to the Dem Dems, you’d just get rid of all of those dangerous guns right?

No law also. Does Anarchy sound good to you? Cause people could still get them illegally.
We all know how illegal things in America are easy to come by now a days(illegals).

yep. If I could, I would just go, “Abracadabra, Alakazam!” poof, all guns gone.

Leaving physically weaker people at the mercy of the strong. Sorry women and old people.

The founders were deity’s and the constitution is biblical.

This is why we will be governed by a document, forever, written when muskets were the most powerful weapon… when sending a message took months… and slavery was the cool thing to do.

We did it to the natives, so I don’t see what the problem is.

No in both cases. They did however create the best form of government in history and the Constitution is the supreme law of the land.

“Powerful”? You rather be shot by a .223 or a .50 Hawken?

The founders are not responsible for the crazy people we created.

I have a problem with idiots who think it would be a good idea to make women, the elderly and the physically weak powerless to defend themselves.

@Roxiebelle

it did not include other minorities like Native Americans and Asians and their citizenship status was achieved through legislation.

ORLY?

Mr. TRUMBULL: I understand that under the naturalization laws the children who are born here of parents who have not been naturalized are citizens. That is the law, as I understand it, at the present time.

or

Mr. Cowan: Is the child of the Chinese immigrant in California a citizen?

Mr. CONNESS: The proposition before us, I will say, Mr. President, relates simply in that respect to the children begotten of Chinese parents in California, and it is proposed to declare that they shall be citizens. We have declared that by law; now it is proposed to incorporate the same provision in the fundamental instrument of the nation. I am in favor of doing so. I voted for the proposition to declare that the children of all parentage whatever, born in California, should be regarded and treated as citizens of the United States, entitled to equal civil rights with other citizens of the United States.

It’s a document, written in ink, on paper, drafted by white men who owned slaves. There is a lot of good ideas in that document but ideas are meant to be grown and changed with the environment. Thomas Edison has a good ideas but where would we be if people didn’t grow those ideas to something more modern?

The idealization of this document is very weird to me…

They ceased being “ideas” and became law the moment it was ratified.

What an utterly vapid post.

Congrats!

They have similar muzzle energy. But at range, the .223 is going to maintain energy much more efficiently. Plus the nature of the trauma caused by the .223 is likely to be more damaging. So, it depends. I’d opt for neither.

In the scenario that we have a magic wand and all guns go poof, it’s definitely a good idea as the risk of being murdered would drop dramatically. Prime case of game theory showing the individual rational choice resulting in a non-optimal outcome.

Ridiculous. You completely ignored mass. .223 has no special trauma powers.

What does your game theory tell you about me with a knife and you unarmed?
