First thing on the agenda is to "reform" the 2nd amend. Hey, it's for your own good.
The Nebraska Legislature in its resolution, similar to other states, put forward changes that will “impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and limit the terms of office for its officials and for members of Congress.”
Nothing about 2a in there, it’s all about reigning in the federal govt
What, specifically, will prohibit them from "reforming" the 2nd if they get their constitutional convention? Besides your, "Oh, they wouldn't do that" statement. Ever heard of a thing called "bait and switch"? How much are you willing to risk on the words of some asshole politicians?
Legal or not, my guns exist.
The law is pretense.
Imagine thinking any change of the laws you believe in, could alter the beliefs and principles you choose to live by?
Other people will joke about losing their guns in a boating accident, or burning them, or hiding them. They'll rail against people who won't, call them "stupid", for not hiding their guns. "Your funeral.", "good luck losing everything to police and courts!" and so on. "Some of us have to think of our families and obligations!"
Nope. You won't find me normalizing the abnormal by joking about it.
I won't be burying any guns. Or losing them in a boating accident. If they outlaw 30 round magazines, I won't be getting rid of or hiding a single one.
If you don't mean "Molon Labe" don't say it.
I'm not questioning you about the strength of your beliefs, just talking to the people who make those sorts of statements.
People think whats in the text of the constitution is more important than the beliefs that dwell in their hearts and minds.
The constitution wasn't a statement of law written by the founders. It was an article of their faith. Because faith, unlike law, is what they would die for.
And they proved it with a war.
And when you hold the constitution as an article of faith, no change of it can sway you, or intimidate you.
Freedom is given to man by The Lord, and only by him can it be taken away.
As long as you live by that belief, you will always be free, no matter where you are, no matter what happens.
