8. Yah, I'm one of those people who doesn't care what the Founding Fathers thought

Cause they made a shit-ton of mistakes and quite frankly lived 250 years ago. So I'm going to go out on a limb and say they'd be the first to say they were out of their depth in 21st century America.

See I want to shut all this debate up permanently and repeal the damn amendment entirely. This way, we don't have to hear non-sequitur arguments like this anymore. No squirming around this or that. Just a permanent ban - simply, clean and done.

And wow, there's a shocker - OP is from Dallas. I can crap on Texans because I was one for 15 years I'm sorry to say. Seems, though, that you can take the Texan out of the Republican, but not the Republican out of the Texan. I hope for my sake that's not true.
