"Point: change (or amend) the damn constitution! Maybe you need guns because you have guns."

If you can damn the Constitution and mean it, you should go live in a country without a constitution. And the sooner the better. You might eventually change your mind.

You can damn the Constitution because it contains a guarantee of free speech. You are taking irresponsible advantage of that guarantee, but you would be upset if it were taken away from you. Yet you feel that the Constitutional right to keep and bear arms should be taken away because a number of people take irresponsible advantage of it.

I would ask if you were familiar with the term, "consistency," if I were sure I could spell it.
