The Second Amendment is killing us so the gun industry can rake in massive profits — we can’t keep interpreting it as an absolute right for every single citizen to own a gun.

The FIRST Amendment is killing us so that highly techno-enforced media can rake in massive profits -- we can't keep interpreting it that everything in a globally-owned/influenced media is an absolute 'right' under the US Constitution where "the press" is mentioned JUST ONCE.

Leftists argue that our founding fathers and supporters only had muskets and stuff - they didn't intend farther. They also only had (at best) Franklin printing presses and type sets where CITIZEN mom and pop journalists could disseminate the news in the most expedient fashion of the times. No instant tele-journalism, mass printing, software, internet or on and on and on..

You don't want semi-autos or whatever? I don't want your damned global 'the press' onslaught. It's a living Constitution, right? Good for the first, good for the second.

If you abrogate the Second, you'd damned well better do the same to the FIRST. Otherwise, STFU.

They’re already going out of their way to minimize or ban the 1st. Hate speech laws were the first big salvo.. I bet this hateful leftist that wrote this has a gun or 2 as well.

Leftists can argue that all they want. The truth is that the founding fathers hired civilian warships to fight the British.
