(20,709 posts)I was just trying to see if you can make a single reasoned argument about why the historical context of the second amendment should be ignored, and why civilian gun ownership for self-defense should be elevated to the level of a constitutionally protected right. Given that self-defense was not at all what the framers had in mind, and given that the ostensible purpose of self-defense is safety, it seems pretty self-defeating to interepret 2A in a way that actually forces us to tolerate levels of gun violence that are unheard of in the rest of developed world.
But instead any kind of intelligent response, what we get is this progression of increasingly hysterical re-iterations of the fact that opinion polls at the moment happen to agree with you about the second amendment. LOL.
I guess the difference between popular opinion and constitutional law is too much for your mind to handle. Kind of ironic, actually, because one of the reasons that a constitution is important is precisely to avoid situation where the majority might be in favor of policies that would be in violation the civil rights.
Anyway, I won't bore you with any more attempts at intelligent discussion. Have fun with your colorful drawings! Ooh look it changes colors! Neat-o!!!!
You've been a wonderful example of the intellectual vacuousness of the pro-gunner community!
