The constitution is outdated.

This sanctity that people give it is part of the problem.

It is a flawed document made by flawed people. However, those people had the foresight to have an updating mechanism built in.

The country is failing because instead of updating the constitution as is mandated they ignored it and made laws anyway ignoring the constitutional constraints.

Take the 2nd amendment. By a strict reading people should be able to own artillery and nukes. This is a bad idea. However, instead of updating the 2nd to exempt AOE weapons they just ignored the 2nd and made laws prohibiting the weapons.

Don't even get my started on the "Interstate Commerce Clause". Biggest load of chit.

How is it communist for being honest about what is allowed and what is not?

I want a machine gun. By the 2nd I am allowed. Meanwhile the ATF says if I own a picture of a certain part I have a machine gun...

Much better to rewrite the Amendment then take a chit on it.

Along these lines ~

Biden’s Candidacy and the Radicalizing Power of Desperation
An unwinnable candidate is the best incentive for breaking the rules.

https://www.frontpagemag.com/bidens-...f-desperation/

excerpt:

....Biden is the presumptive nominee not because he is a sure thing, but because he can’t win. That would make no sense to.a traditional Democrat’s way of thinking, but the party is no longer run by the old school, but by a new school of radicals. Its goal is not to win elections, but to radicalize the party and the country. A hopelessly weak candidate facing an unwinnable election against Trump or DeSantis serves that purpose far better than a Newsom victory.

An unwinnable candidate in an election they can’t afford to lose will once again radicalize the Democrats and force them to break rules they hadn’t even previously thought of breaking.

To leftists the election isn’t the issue, only the revolution. From the leftist perspective they won in both 2016 and 2020 because they were able to radicalize the party, its apparatus and rank and file members. Getting suburban housewives to put on pink hats and howl in the streets after a massive defeat doesn’t look like anything that the party would have found rewarding in 1956, but the Left is not out to win elections, but to end them and take over the entire country.

While Republicans celebrated, leftists broke new ground in radicalizing Democrats and in coordinating the machinery of the administrative state to act openly against Trump and Republicans. Republicans had won an election, but leftists had unleashed a state within a state. Openly sidelining elected officials for unelected ones is much more fundamental to the leftist agenda than any of the culture war battles because it prepares the way for a totalitarian state.

Then after terrorizing Democrats and some independents with monstrous caricatures of Trump for four years, the party and its allies were willing to do anything in 2020. And they did.

Biden’s weakness, elderly and running a basement campaign, was a strength, not a weakness.

Democrats, convinced that they couldn’t win naturally, pulled out all the stops, at the state level, exploiting public health emergencies, unilaterally changing voting rules, setting off race riots and bringing the country to its knees. Would they have been as desperate with a strong candidate?....
I’m betting they do it all over again in 2024. It also seems the right is being radicalized as well just not as fast.
See you tomorrow

The Bruen decision really pissed them off.

They only want to "update it" because it restrains their extremist agenda

Even the Bruen decision isn't far enough. Again by the letter of the 2nd SHALL Not be infringed to includes artillery and all other modern items.

There are enough votes to have a few "reasonable" restrictions and amend it. Instead they just pretend they are allowed to out law stuff and we now literally hoave thousands of illegal laws.

This is so much worse.

I agree, but it's at least a start. It reversed the 110 year old law in NY that prevented 95% of the population from being able to carry a firearm.

There are a few cities in the US that have arbitrary and tyrannical restrictions on who can carry.

You should post some pics to prove it now, you know you want to.
Sure 'Tard... Thing is though if I DID you know as well as I do that YOU, Pat, Benny, and estrogenbro will fight like your lives depend on it to defend them rather than saying.."Hey, that's kinda fuked up. Those fruits should not be airing out their jock itch in front of kids like that.."

That said though, I can't imagine why anybody calls you all groomer though.
It's a hot night. The mind races. You think about your knife: the only friend who hasn't betrayed you, the only friend who won't be dead by sunup. Sleep tight mates, in your quilted chambray night shirts.
