An Illinois technocrat has demonstrated the Progressive attitude about the Constitution and the Second Amendment. Representative Bill Foster has a PhD in Physics from Harvard. He was raised and earned his Bachelor degree in ultra-liberal Madison, Wisconsin. In his view, the Constitution is a document that can be re-interpreted to mean different things every few years. That is true in a sense. Amendments to the Constitution can be put forward and passed any time. It is clear a constitutional amendment is not what Representative Foster is talking about. From chicagotribune.com:
Flanked by two area high school students, a pediatrician and the mother of a gun violence victim, U.S. Rep. Bill Foster told a community forum audience Monday the Second Amendment should be up for reinterpretation as new generations come into power.
“It always has been up for reinterpretation,” Foster, D-Naperville, said during an event focused on gun violence. “The technology changes, and the weapons thought to be too dangerous to be in private hands change. A civil war cannon is frankly much less dangerous than weapons we are allowed to carry on the streets in many of the states and cities in our country today. This is something where technology changes and public attitude changes and both are important in each of the generations.”
What does “reinterpretation” mean? It means you take the same words in the Constitution, and apply a different meaning to them. If you can do that, the Constitution only means what you want it to mean, when you want it to mean it.

You can always tell a Harvard man. But you can’t tell him much.
Let’s ask him. "Would you prefer your house be hit by one round from a fused, explosive ball from a four pound civil war cannon, or one round from a .223 cal. AR-15 semi-automatic rifle you call an Assault Rifle? Your choice.”
If it means nothing, why bother to write it down?
Yep, amd the sad thing is, the Rat politicians, the crooked lawyers and judges, the leftist elites, Soros, the Obamas, the Clintons, and the googles and apples will escape while the people on the street will shed their blood.
Rep. Foster lost to Rep. Hultgren once. It only happened in 2010.
His credentials scream “ political pedophile”
Just think what a round of canister shot could do for your outlook
