(47,992 posts)of the Constitution; I have asked woo that question several times and have never received an answer.
The Constitution has become a false god to some people to receive blood sacrifices through the 2nd amendment and that includes the PRIVILEGE of completely unregulated private assault weapons markets/PROFITS in the world's poor countries, in order to avoid that big bad bugaboo the U.N. and its attempts at treaties to control those weapons. Alienation from the U.N. negates any chance we might have to get that organization to reform - AND - thus obviates any changes in the IMF, the source of Disaster Capitalism around the world, which makes those same poor countries fertile ground for assault weapons freelancers and, thus, drone programs.

All of that woo woo concern for the poor only extends as far as certain versions of a Constitution, written by a bunch of wealthy white guys for the express purpose of aggrandizing their wealth and didn't even recognize the rights of slaves or women, not to mention the rights of American Indians to live.
Yeah, the poor rank real high with Woo, just as long as they agree that the "tree" of what some people call "liberty" SHOULD be watered with OTHER people's blood.
Go ahead and ask him/her. How many dead people, who tend to be POOR, are too many to "protect" the 2nd Amendment.
