This week Bill Mahr said our system sucks and the Constitution needs a page one re-write. While he makes a lot of good points about the hypocrisy of the left, I think this is a pretty telling statement - and it's been picked up on this board.
@syskatine in particular but the growing claim is that the Constitution is a "living document" meant to be changed to fit the times.
It's a complete disconnect from my belief that it should be almost impossible to change and in particular the Bill of Rights should be set in stone and considered infallible. If the document is easy to change, it means nothing - which of course is exactly what the statist a believe. They are incapable of debating various amendments because they don't consider the Constiturion as anything to revere or protect, even though they are happy to use it for cover when it keeps them out of jail or to escape criticism.
For all its vilification, the NRA is virtually the only organization doing anything to preserve Constitutional rights which all start with protecting our rights to be armed - which is an essential right of a free citizen. This right serves all others. And as such, this is the real reason the left elite hates the 2nd A. It has nothing to do with gun deaths and anyone who truly believes it does at the legislative level is basically a child arguing about Santa Claus.
