Quote of the Day
The Second Amendment was written in a time when firearms were far less powerful and society was vastly different. The idea of a “well-regulated militia” doesn’t align with the realities of modern America, where personal safety and public health concerns dominate the conversation.
Many argue that it’s time to reinterpret this amendment to reflect current challenges and priorities. This doesn’t mean ignoring history, it means adapting it to better serve the present and future.

Why Americans Should Consider Giving Up Their Guns
Reinterpret the constitution? I wonder what Ms. Stewart would think of the idea of reinterpreting the Nineteenth Amendment and the First Amendment. She just demonstrated she is unqualified to be voting or expressing a worthwhile opinion on important human rights issues. So, to prevent this type of risk to our rights, let’s not bother with actually amending the constitution. It is too difficult and time consuming. Yet, we cannot continue allowing her and her type putting our rights at risk. Certainly, we can get a consensus allowing women the same rights as men is outdated and does not align with the realities of modern America.
She’s just following in the footsteps of Woodrow Wilson and the “living constitution” scam. Unfortunately, there are one or two Supreme Court justices who like that notion, too.
You underestimate. Certainly, judicial supremacism is a living constitution scam. See Hamilton’s comments.
Let’s not forget John Marshall who, in Marbury vs Madison, spun the Constitutional Review for Constitutionality completely out of, as they used to say, “Whole Cloth”. It certainly does not appear within the four corners of the Constitution.
If the constitution were alive, it would run away screaming.
What is a woman?
Seriously, we have some high-ranking government officials who do not seem to know.
I’ll know it when I see it.
Dear Anne, you ignorant slut.
We have considered giving up our guns. Short answer, No, BFYTW. And any piece of paper you might create as your new god.
Human nature is still the same as it was when the 2A was wrote. And America is a much more violent place than it was on or before 2A’s writing.
So, I’m truly sorry for your condition, (it must be a living hell to be you,) but that condition precludes you from any farther recognition of you as an adult whose opinion is worth consideration.
Have a nice life, or whatever you call your existence.
And kindly bother the grown-up’s no more with your blather.
P.S. Please remind the rest of your simpleton friends for us. Lest bad things befall.
There’s also a not unreasonable argument to be made for “reinterpreting” the 13th through the 19th* and maybe even the 22nd.
*The 18th was already “reinterpreted” by the 21st, so we know how to do it. Maybe if we started by “reinterpreting” 13-19 in reverse order…..
They’ve already “Reinterpreted” the Fourth Amendment.
“When they said “papers” they obviously couldn’t have known about email.”
True.
But it wasn’t *that* long before the telegraph was invented, and email is very, very analogous to a telegram. So maybe I’d start there, if I were going to look for relevant case law.
The States themselves got aced out of their seat in the national government when the 17th Amendment took the power to select the Senators away from the State Legislatures.
The states had already lost their seats in CW1. The 17A just formalized it.
True. So often we think something occurs at a certain time, only to find that upon closer examination the change was in motion much earlier and what we think was the change merely made it official. I wonder what the repeal of the 17th would accomplish.
“ Certainly, we can get a consensus allowing women the same rights as men is outdated and does not align with the realities of modern America.”
I know Joe is being facetious but has there been any real evaluation and correlation done between when women started to vote and thing in society changed for the worse?
Look up Vox Day’s writings on women voting.
Also, Look at Switzerland. They started letting women vote in 1975, I think.
The country automatically started going left. And has continued ever since.
And remember, our forefathers gave black men the vote before they did women for a reason.
A very good argument can be made that the ongoing collapse of American society began with the passage of the 19th Amendment granting emotional females suffrage.
Look at a chart of government spending over the nations history. No points for guessing where the inflection point is.
