Biden's "Not Absolute" Statement about the Constitution's Amendments..

probably would make Our Founding Fathers turn over in their graves!
Here's one of the world's most successful & long-standing documents ever devised & written..
and Joe Biden & his Left-leaning regime think they are smarter and have better ideas.
Good luck America for you're gonna need it big time to live thru the next 2.5 years of these America-hating lunatics!

I guess that is why is has 33 amendments, cause it was a perfect document when the founders signed it.

Well maybe it was perfect when they signed it, but times have changed... for better or worse can be debated.

Well, if they do I’ll be doing my part by being properly armed.

Have you noticed that countries with Nuclear weopons never get invaded, that play book was written decades ago. But you stand at the ready with your musket, I'll signal the lighthouse when the ships arrive.

The likelihood of my home being invaded by a domestic thug is much greater. I realize that. But either way I’m prepared as best I can. You get your water gun ready.

the second amendment does not guarantee that right, specifically states a well regulated militia, militia being a domestic army at the ready. And per the definition of a firearm of the day, a single shot musket is all you were promised.

We’ve lost touch with original meaning

It’s fairly obvious that there has been some calibrated manipulation of the origin story of the constitution to serve various political and financial interests. Law review articles are deliberately written to sway an audience and have a desired effect in mind, which is to pull scholars in one direction or another. Legal scholars are mostly salesmen hired to feed their constituents juicy morsels of sound bites. You can’t trust them.
“If one delves into the claims these scholars were making, a startling number of them crumble. Historian Jack Rakove, whose Pulitzer-Prize winning book Original Meanings explored the founders’ myriad views, notes, “It is one thing to ransack the sources for a set of useful quotations, another to weigh their interpretive authority. … There are, in fact, only a handful of sources from the period of constitutional formation that bear directly on the questions that lie at the heart of our current controversies about the regulation of privately owned firearms. If Americans has indeed been concerned with the impact of the Constitution on this right … the proponents of individual right theory would not have to recycle the same handful of references … or to rip promising snippets of quotations from the texts and speeches in which they are embedded.”
And there were plenty of promising snippets to rip. There was the ringing declaration from Patrick Henry: “The great object is, that every man be armed.” The eloquent patriot’s declaration provided the title for the ur-text for the gun rights movement, Stephen Halbrook’s 1984 book, That Every Man Be Armed. It is cited reverentially in law review articles and scholarly texts. The Second Amendment professorship at George Mason University is named after Henry. A $10,000 gift to the NRA makes you a “Patrick Henry Member.”
The quote has been plucked from Henry’s speech at Virginia’s ratifying convention for the Constitution in 1788. But if you look at the full text, he was complaining about the cost of both the federal government and the state arming the militia. (“The great object is, that every man be armed,” he said. “At a very great cost, we shall be doubly armed.”) In other words: Sure, let every man be armed, but only once! Far from a ringing statement of individual gun-toting freedom, it was an early American example of a local politician complaining about government waste.”
Check the timeline on the history of SCOTUS 2A cases, and their outcomes. It’s actually a fairly recent phenomena, and the decisions based mostly on a contrivance.

So does this mean I should get a write-off on my weapons

purchases since I'm doing my part...?
On the other hand, maybe just give me a credit for ammo.

That’s actually a great point

I can imagine what the proposed legislation on that would look like. It would be huge for companies like Daniel Defense, wouldn’t it?

Don’t waste your time Bill. Liberals think the founders use of the word “welfare” actually means “free ###”.
