Thankfully, according to the Missouri constitution, my right to keep and bear arms is unalienable, and shall not be questioned.
Supremacy clause.
This is 2021. Don’t you mean the “white supremacy clause?”

According to Stumblin Joe, Bumden on the Constitution, ‘No amendment is absolute’.
What crock of Schiff. Lunatic liberals living in socialism land.
They defund the police and want to change constitutional amendments, stack the supreme court, let anyone vote. The only ones yelling fire in a movie theater are progressive liberals ■■■■■■■ up American.
Biden on the Second Amendment: 'No amendment is absolute' | Fox News
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.

I Section 23. Right to keep and bear arms, ammunition, and certain accessories — exception — rights to be unalienable. — That the right of every citizen to keep and bear arms, ammunition, and accessories typical to the normal function of such arms, in defense of his home, person, family and property, or when lawfully summoned in aid of the civil power, shall not be questioned. The rights guaranteed by this section shall be unalienable. Any restriction on these rights shall be subject to strict scrutiny and the state of Missouri shall be obligated to uphold these rights and shall under no circumstances decline to protect against their infringement. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent the general assembly from enacting general laws which limit the rights of convicted violent felons or those adjudicated by a court to be a danger to self or others as result of a mental disorder or mental infirmity.
unless Missouri changes the state constitution to remove it.
Not the bill of rights. That’s why they are called “rights.”

Yes, the justifying clause.
But the actual clause thereby justified offers Congress no enumerated power to do anything, rather it restricts them, and there is no enumerated power for the current stable of federal gun laws elsewhere so the 10th Amendment is the controlling Law.
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.

CanadianJudo:
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?

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.
