“Doing my best, the Second Amendment makes no such exception, so it would be unconstitutional”
Note, you didnt answer the question. Even assuming your statmtnt is true (which 4/9 supreme court justices disagreed with in Heller, and the court in general disagreed with for the first 220 years or so of the amendments existence.
That STILL doesn’t answer the question. The constitution isnt Torah misinia ( lehavdil) if there is no justifiable reason for something we should amend it. Just saying “well yes, its pretty terible that we have such a high gun death rate, but oh well its in the constitution” just doesn’t make sense .
Which brings me to my real question, that I have been asking numerous times on this thread.
I get that many feel we need guns to prevent the government from becoming tyrannical. (as Toi, and akuperma seem to be saying) my question is 2 fold:
1) who decides when the govt is tyrannical. I think my taxes are way to high. do you support my right to open fire on the Evil tyrannical government when th IRS comes knocking at the door? What if my whole block agrees our taxes are too high? city? state? How does mobilizing our armed populace to overthrow the government work?
2) Is there any armed rebellion/uprising in the the past 242 years that you support? The whisky rebellion? Waco? The confederacy?
Thanks
