C'mon man , really accounted for in the constitution?, do you know unless your a land owner you couldn't vote back in the day, the constitution is an antiquated document that never envisioned our modern world. Sure some of its tennents are still valuable , but it's an entire different world.

Listen, if you don't think the 2nd Amendment guarantees my right to own machine guns and bazookas to defend myself from tyranny, I don't know what to tell ya.

Pretty sure you can't own bazookas... But I really don't even care about the 2nd amendment, my point is so much of our American society is different than when the founders wrote that document , that maybe we shouldn't take it to be sacrosanct and consider that our world has evolved and our governing ideals should too.

Yeah, that's what I was factiously saying.

People treat it like religion, and mostly religious people do.

You can hear it in their voices, they say "THE FOUNDING FATHERS!!!" with the same voice they say God.
