@Mikethewander1 We have this thing called the 8th amendment...
@Mikethewander1 They do tend to do that. But the courts won't.
Is that the one about the guns? 🤔😛
@PussyFootingAround @Mikethewander1 Remarkably, there are 9 amendments in the Bill of Rights that *aren't* about guns...
Not that you'd know that from most Rs.
@RationalLeft @PussyFootingAround I keep trying to get gun extremists to "come to the table" for gun laws. Not only do they forget about all the other Amendments they should remember that one actually got repealed.
3rd could be construed to be about guns.
It is astounding that the most widely quoted text is the least read. Much like the Bible.
@PussyFootingAround @Mikethewander1 The third involved an armed force, so yes, there's at least a tangential connection.
@PussyFootingAround @RationalLeft The 2nd, but there are key words they skip in that too! "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,",,,, that actually IS the National Guard!
@Mikethewander1 @PussyFootingAround The NRA headquarters have the 2nd amendment carved into the wall.
Naturally it omits the well regulated militia part and begins with "..."
@RationalLeft They seem to be ignoring all but the Second!
