You're assuming the military would blindly cooperate. Most likely a civil war would start and entire command structures (including the military hardware they possess) would separate and turn on it.Originally posted by Adrift View Post"As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them.

The Constitution is certainly for the protection of the people. I can not imagine any way you could interpret the 2nd as people being for the constitution - that makes no sense. The 2nd is definitely for the people.Originally posted by Adrift View PostMicah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?Comment

What I'm saying is that a lot of people seem to think that the Constitution is holy writ, or like it's sacred or something. It's not. People are allowed to change it any way they see fit.Originally posted by Jedidiah View PostComment

sure and we can abolish it and become a dictatorship. Changing the constitution is hard for a reason. We don't want it to be changed. It is the foundation of our country. It basically IS "holy writ" for the USA.Originally posted by Adrift View Post

Of course they are, provided a consensus for change. However, it is the foundational document of our government, and the possible ramifications should be carefully considered before any change is made.Originally posted by Adrift View PostVeritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

We saw it changed with the 18th Amendment for what many saw as good reasons which would be a benefit to the nation. Changes for short sighted reasons tend to backfire. It would be idiotic to eliminate the 2nd (in my not so humble opinion). It would do far more harm than good.Originally posted by Adrift View PostMicah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?Comment

I'm not sure the worry is necessarily homicides (many of which I'd expect are in gang warfare--and while them killing each other certainly isn't something I'm happy about, they still signed up for "the game" rather than being a regular person who was shot), but the mass shootings. Killing one person without a gun is often not that hard if you really want to; a sharp enough knife can cause nearly instant death if you hit the right body part. But it's a lot harder to cause mass death with a knife. What's the data on mass shootings over that time period?Originally posted by seer View PostComment

For some people, probably many of you here, it has to affect you personally before you actually allow yourself to care and stop the stupid arguments. I'll bet if you had a family member killed or wounded at such an event, you couldn't in good conscience continue arguing in favor of less regulations.Comment
