This is 2021. Don’t you mean the “white supremacy clause?”

Interestingly enough, Biden is simply agreeing with Antonin Scalia who said this very thing in regards to the 2nd

The 10th is absolute with respect to powers not enumerated to the federal.

everything in the Constitution can be amended.

unless Missouri changes the state constitution to remove it.

Not the bill of rights. That’s why they are called “rights.”

Yes everything in the Constitution can be changed.

Yeah. I just laugh when people get all “the 2nd amendment is about my freedoms!”.

It’s really about the federal Govt. in the 1700’s being cheap, broke, or both.

Who says?

The Constitution says it.
it outlines the process in which the document can be altered.

Sorry, the bill of rights are special. We’re stuck with them.

Yet the right is an individual one, and there are no progressive weasel words employed to set circumstances where the federal can regulate what Arms ordinary citizens may own or the circumstances by which they acquire them.

Its not.

Do you know that you have said this several times now? If I replied, which I did. It means I already read what you said. Boring me to death will change nothing.

Your simply wrong, I’m not going to baby you.
everything in the Constitution can be changed.

thou rest easy that America will never amend the Second, the process is next to impossible in today political climate.

No. You spelled it wrong. I said bore me, not baby me. Maybe you should repeat yourself for a 5th time just to make sure I know what you’re trying to say. Shall we?

Its okay, I love seeing real time example of the failure of the American education system.

Ok.

Still, they didn’t write the 2nd amendment because “Guns are of divine providence!”.

They wrote it because they were cheap.

It wasn’t just being cheap.

They were also properly cynical and yet practical men.

Remember that other famous justifying clause in A1:S8:C1 attached to the then entirely novel Power being enumerated to let Congress authorize certain forms of taxation?

(Which is the only Power being enumerated by the clause.)

That was a point at which past cynicism and present practicality came to a head, thus the justification part.

You may note that they allowed for a navy without certain appropriations restrictions (no more than 2 years for an army), which navy in practical terms was far more useful than a standing army to prevent war with European powers, where standing armies would be far more useful to let government impose tyrannies … so you see their correct distrust of concentrated power that most modern Americans have foolishly cast aside.
