I think the dumbass Levinson was trying to say, “Was freedom and the Bill of Rights a mistake?” Only a severely retarded “academic” would blame constitutional documents for a problem that is actually created by the bottom feeding scum of a failed society. It’s the people moron, not the guns, the Bill of Rights or the Second Amendment. Grow up moron! Using your empty skull, just think of the lives we could save by banning cars.

I believe you are correct. He is reiterating the essense of the Progressive movement.

The Progressive theorists believed limitations on government power were horrible mistakes. Those limitations prevented the wonderful people in government from doing all the good things they would do, if only the government were not bound by the chains of the Constitution.

Levinson puts forward the two main arguments of the Progressive movement:

1. That was then, this is now. Everything changes all the time. Human nature is completely maleable. Since everything changes, the Government has to change all the rules all the time to make things work well. Progressive experts can do this.

2. Progressive experts can only make everything work well, with all the changes that need to be made all the time, if they have unlimited power. The Constitution places horrible constraints on government, so it has to be neutered or worked around.

Exactly why "gun violence" is such a stupid and misleading phrase.

Liberals believe that we have too many freedoms and constantly work to take them away.
