Since the repuglicans worship the U.S. government like it is God incarnate, and demoncrats are all evil, then one would figure all "law-abiding" Americans would wholeheartedly support a repeal of the second amendment and a confiscation of all handguns! Hunting rifles alone could be stockpiled by the citizenry and then only the U.S. armed forces would possess WMDs! And any of those crazy right, or left, wing crazies that took up arms would be wiped off the earth by our Homeland Security.
Within ten years of the ban on handguns all street thugs with guns would either be dead or in prison; and of course that nonsense about "an armed society being a safe society" would be thoroughly debunked!
Then our streets would no longer run red with blue-blood and we could actually find out if a disarmed society would be a safe society!
Is not your "sacred" constitution subject to change? If not then why do we allow "coloreds" and women to vote or count Natives as full persons? If we want to remain true to "original intent" then all guns should be kept for the taxman . . .
No crosshairs intended.
Or mayhap, like Holy Scripture itself, different interpretations are perceived by every reader! Gotta love that Protestantism! If a man-made document, the U.S. Constitution, cannot be construed to fit the modern times then that document is dead; and I refuse to live by the words of centuries old dead white dudes!
Peter was commanded to sheathe the gun of his day, his sword, and the first true Christians were slaughtered by their own government; and history repeats! What was Nietzsche's phrase??? Eternal recurrence (in an earthly-bound, temporally-limited) sense (see!, I used a "timeless" idea for contemporary thinking in a contextually different way: imagine that!) . . .
Jesus-loving Christians do not take up arms, but we will assuredly die for what we believe in.
pax vobiscum
