So, you love the second amendment, but you would be willing to dump it in exchange for, getting to dump the first amendment? Pardon me if next time you claim to be for freedom I puke.
You should go back and re-read what I had written about this prior to arguing in such an unimaginably silly manner.Far be it for me to attempt to keep you from puking.
I certainly would not choose to interfere or have anything to do with the, Ah, “expression” of your bodily functions. Nor be associated with your mental incapacity either.What I stated was that for a consideration of “dumping” the protections of the Second Amendment—as posited by several socialistic/liberal types—a COMPROMISE should be made. A Quid-pro-quo, if you will. Another Amendment should ALSO be surrendered; what better than the First Amendment. Start at the beginning, right?
Remember: YOU were the one claiming the Constitution is in need of a re-do or rewrite.
And I described the CONSTITUTIONALLY PROVIDED method for doing so.
— An authorized (and Constitutionally valid) method.
— Completely legal.
— Done before. All you have to do is get an amendment proposed, recognized, then approved and ratified by the required number of states. All within the required time frame.
“A proposed amendment becomes part of the Constitution as soon as it is ratified by three-fourths of the States (38 of the current 50 States).”

At the present time it is unlikely that 3/4 of the “United” States could (or would) agree to ANYTHING—let alone any proposed rewrite of the Constitution. Oh, it might be possible to garner support from some of the far-west (CA, HI, OR, WA) and some Eastern states (NY, NJ, MA, DE, MD, CT, NH, DC, RI, and maybe some others) and perhaps some Northeastern or mideastern states (IL, OH, IA, IN, WI, MI) Maybe even CO and NM.
Which comes up to 21 — far short of the required 38 needed to pass a Constitutional Amendment.
It would be nearly impossible to get an additional 17 states.
So: NO REDO FOR YOU
