Ban cars; responsible for more deaths than guns ever were and we were just using horses in those days.

Ban breathing it causes cancer

^This is true.

Can we ban trucks? They are weapons of mass murders and we got along fine back then with horse drawn carriages

Why does anyone respond to a Mercs topic seriously?
---

Are journalists really still clinging to the first ammendent?
They just had the post office and carriages back then. They didn't even have the internet or phones.

If you think any of these responses have been serious, I think you need to go lie down.

People were barely even literate back in the 1700s. Think about it guys.

That law is called the Constitution, its the foundation and heart of our country. There are plenty of countries in the world with a gun ban and socialism (things liberals love). If you find that kind of living more preferable, fine, relocate. Don't expect our society to change to suit YOUR beliefs.

I can see a lot of thought went into this topic with a one sentence OP

Liberals say the Constitution is an outdated piece of paper but hypocritically cry "muh free speech" when someone doesn't agree with them. That "piece of paper" is the very thing that allows them to be the arrogant assholes they are. Fine, if they want to take our guns, we get to take their freedom of speech. Seems like a fair trade.

I don't think the left understands what amendments are, or the rights they entail.

Your post doesn't even make any sense. It's literally a "No you" with less effort.

Do you know what an amendment is, and do you know what that word entails?

Amendments are additions that carry the exact same authority as the rest of the Constitution.

Not as bad as someone clinging to a book from the 0000's to justify how they live their lives.

Wait...

Yes, the amendments are the rights that we have as citizens of this country. I assume that the word, to you, entails making changes or "amendments". If you want to "amend" i.e. "change" the 2nd Amendment to take away our right to bear arms, then hell, we should "amend" i.e. "change" the first amendment so that every time you liberals spew your toxicity, you could be fined or thrown in prison for it. I bet that "piece of paper" would suddenly look real good after that.

Reminder: Everything in the constitution has a mechanism that allows it be changed based on the will of the people who live under it's rule. That's how things like prohibition happened and unhappened. That's how things happened like slaves in the southbeing counted as 3/5s of a person and the later slavery became prohibited.

I'd just like to point out that the same people who cling to the Constitution when arguing about guns also tend to be the same ones who complain about protesters

People who also claim that the 2nd amendment is supposed to protect them from tyrannical government are usually the same people who are perfectly ok with it every time the police murder unarmed civilians.

So you answer a question with a complete and total fabrication, and then add in your own little contradiction that pretty much explains how you don't actually care about any of the amendments in particular, but just really really like guns.

Damn, that's good to know that some of you guys actually think like that, being as the clues were already there lol

ironically, white slave owners in the south wanted blacks to count as a whole person so it stacks house of congress representatives based on population in their favor

@REMercsChamp you know gatling guns existed before the 2nd amendment was written?

No, of course you didn't.

"I'm pro gun, and hate big government but I love the police and military and they can do no wrong!"

They practically worship all the aspects of a big centralized government lol

So saying that the Constitution gives us rights as citizens is a fabrication, got it. I will believe it because some nameless, arrogant dickhead on the Internet said it was, so it must be 100% right

Yeah they actually like the idea of having all of the authoritarian aspects of of a big strong government but none of the benefits (thinks like a social safety net and universal healthcare).

Saying that changing the second amendment means stripping your right to bear arms is a complete and total fabrication lol

It's a very fucking simple question lol

An amendment is change to the Constitution that can either add or repeal the government's authority (such as the 16th amendment adding the right for the government to tax income), limitation (the Bill of Rights), procedure (17th amendment making Senators chosen by popular election rather than state legislature), or even repeal an existing amendment (21st repealed 18th amendment which prohibited alcohol). Creating an amendment requires the approval of 2/3rds of both houses of Congress and ratification by 3/4ths of the states (meaning 38 states currently).

If you think you are so confident that you can make both houses of Congress and 38 states create an amendment that repeals the 2nd amendment, then I dare you to try.
