Open Carry March on Washington DC July 4th

[Xsyne]

Maybe because no one has said the Second Amendment is racist at all?

Yep, and here's another thing I'd like to see quoted by the person claiming it.

Please, someone quote where anybody in this thread has said the 2nd Amendment is racist. Or that anybody who supports the 2nd Amendment is racist. Or that supporting the 2nd Amendment is racist.

...the 2nd Amendment is racist.

...anybody who supports the 2nd Amendment is racist.

...supporting the 2nd Amendment is racist.

Jesus that was almost physically painful to do.

[Ensiferum]

Well, I have to go lynch me some negros and attend today's KKK meet for now, but I'll jump back into this conversation later.

It's been pretty depressing to see that of the two people defending your constitution, one of us is a foreigner, and I hope the 10:1 liberal:conservative ratio will have improved a bit by the time I get back but, this being NS, I won't get my hopes up. Have fun in the meantime, comrades.

Have fun. It's a pity the 2nd Amendment is just that, an Amendment. Therefore you are defending an amendment, not the Constitution itself. If amendments counted you'd be defending Prohibition and Income Tax and so on and you wouldn't do that now would you?

I am from Argentina.

[Mike the Progressive]

At least for Bush v. Gore it really wasn't that simple.

True, the recount was inconclusive anyways as it depended on what type of recount they chose and what was counted as a vote. However, in the grand scheme of things the Supreme Court used powers it didn't have. It ensured a tyranny of the minority. Those in power got to choose who got power and that is just wrong.

I agree.

[Rainbows and Rivers]

Anyway, this looks like a great opportunity for the government to test out some crowd control weapons. I hope they get to the Active Denial System.

It's amusing that you consider that word an insult...

Amendments are part of the Constitution.

So you'll defend prohibition and income tax to the last man then? The gummermint ain't gonna not take away my alcohol dammit!!! Exactly, you're not. Therefore you're supporting an amendment. Not the Constitution. Amendments are only treated as part of the Constitution. They can be repealed and altered.

You should amend those quotes so we can all see who said them.

Just kind of sitting there like that they give the impression that Irredento has a leg to stand on.

Are you an American? If you are, this should be pretty embarrassing as a foreigner explains this to you...
Everything in the US constitution can be changed, not just the amendments...

No no no, the US Constitution is the irrefutable word of Jesus. All of it.

Even the "people" part. He's very confused sometimes. Thinks he's a three-in-one Stepford Cuckoo thing.

Bottle said all three in the quoted post, just took a bit of selective editing. For comedic effect I believe.

I'm German. Actually in order to alter the actual Constitution a Constitutional Convention has to be called. To change an amendment it just has to be passed like a law and then ratified by 2/3rds of the states. In the olden days it might have been easier to just call a Convention but today I don't think that's so.

No, I know.

But just kind of sitting right there like that they're just kind of Stupid Bait, you know what I mean?

[L Ron Cupboard]

I would have preferred a 10,000 strong open bong smoking rally through Washington.

[Choronzon]

I would have preferred a 10,000 strong open bong smoking rally through Washington.

The government would react swifter and more decisively to such a rally than they will to this.

Which is incredibly depressing.

You are drawing a distinction where there is none.

The "actual constitution" includes all amendments thereto, just like the "actual tax code" and the "actual FAA regulations".

There are different ways to alter the two. Therefore there is a distinction. You can't say you want to change the language of the Constitution and pass it through like an amendment. Granted this would be preferable as a way to start a Constitutional Convention but it isn't holding. You're trying to lump to different things together and the Constitution doesn't work that way if you read it.

[Yumyumsuppertime]

Not the Constitution. Amendments are only treated as part of the Constitution. They can be repealed and altered.

And Prohibition was repealed. If you're looking to argue for repeal of the 2nd amendment, that's an entirely different topic.

No. Try again.

Constitutional conventions can pass constitutional amendments.

They can also be passed by congress and ratified by the state legislatures.

Two paths, one end result: amendment.

A constitutional convention is not required to change the US constitution... Amendments change the constitution.

And Prohibition was repealed. If you're looking to argue for repeal of the 2nd amendment, that's an entirely different topic.

I don't think that most people want a full-up repeal of the Second Amendment - they just want reasonable, commonsense limits put on it. You know, just like every other single right that we have has reasonable, commonsense limits put on them.

How many constitutional rights do you have that you can only exercise with a background check, and, in certain cities, cannot be exercised in public at all?
