The Constitution most certainly is a living document, subject to change over the years of it's life. The very breath of our living document is the amendment process. The founding fathers most definitely anticipated additions, deletions and changes to the document written by fallible human beings.Soccerdad1995 wrote:Yes, clearly the founders could not possibly foresee that things would evolve. They had seen the evolution of weaponry from pointed sticks and rocks, to swords and bows, then crossbows, then the invention of gunpowder and the firearm. These same folks surely thought that weapons would never, ever, continue to evolve. Yet they were somehow able to foresee that a great future thinker named Al Gore would develop the internet, and a modern Ben Franklin named Zuckerberg would spur an explosion of social media. So we need to limit the 2nd Amendment to only weapons that were in existence when the constitution was written, but the 1st Amendment applies to every form of communication that exists today.ScottDLS wrote:You are all missing the Sporting Purposes clause and the Hunting Deer language of the Constitution. The DWEMs who gave us the Constitution only wanted us to have black powder flintlocks to hunt deer. They, of course, did not foresee modern weapons of war like the AR15 and Apple iPhone encryption that have no place on our streets.
Do liberals really believe that we are this stupid? Here's an even scarier thought - maybe they are right......
