Grab,

Fair enough. The Bill of rights is somewhat different from the other amendments, but never mind. THERE HAS BEEN NO attempt to CHANGE or repeal the second amendment, as provided by law, but to pass laws that are prohibited by it. IF the amendment is repealed, THEN my arguement is no longer valid.


How is "freedom to assemble" relevent to today? It justs let a bunch of troublemakers get together and riot- like shouting "fire" in a movie theater ( sarcastic remark- I would NOT repeal any of the Bill of Rights)

WHY should ANY right be considered valid, when you want it to be overridden WITHOUT repeal of the amendment providing it???


"Fresh in their minds was the memory of the British violation of civil rights before and during the Revolution. They demanded a "bill of rights" that would spell out the immunities of individual citizens. "
