Do you know what "amendments" are? yallerdawg Jun 2017 #15
Of course - the 2nd was one of the 1st, which means it "changes" the body of the document. jmg257 Jun 2017 #16

You said a right to bear arms didn't depend on technology. MGKrebs Jun 2017 #49
I think you pointed out a limitation to the statement, not an exception. LesterKasai Jun 2017 #52
No, that's not an exception, because nukes have never been part of 'bearable arms'. X_Digger Jun 2017 #61
Every 'right' you identify has limits. yallerdawg Jun 2017 #20
And again, who said all rights are absolute? You sure do like arguing with things I didn't say. X_Digger Jun 2017 #28
