Obviously the constitution did not exist when we fought for independence, and it probably violated the constitution. If you look at it, what was done during the war of independence violated the constitution. In other words no nation is born without an armed dictatorship, and no nation is maintained at peace when enemies abound without armed dictatorship embodied by the executive.
You want to save the constitution, ban libertarians and liberals, instaure a dictatorship, enforce the spirit of independence. AFter all, we never violated it back then when we jailed pro-British US troops, nor would we violate it today if we jailed pro-commi-muslim-nazi-sex-preference- cults of all kinds that are only there to use the government powers and guns to destroy us.
What would you do during the war of independence if a British would make a run for the guns? You'd demand abrogation of his right to run. Same thing today, it does not change.
