The ridiculous truth regarding 2nd amendment arguments / proponents is the following:
They maintain that the Constitution is so important, so sacred that you simply cannot infringe on it in any way... and they argue this very vehemently yet there is a huge problem with this...
ALL OF OUR RIGHTS ARE INFRINGED UPON IN SOME WAY!!!!
This position that the 2nd amendment is so sacred it cannot be infringed upon never ever applies to any of the other amendments...
My freedom of free speech is routinely limited and even infringed upon by the Government. Don't believe me? Go to a police station and yell, "F you pigs I hope you all die" and see what happens to you.
I could go on listing examples amendment by amendment but I will stop there. Point is simple, this notion that you simply can't touch an amendment in any way, shape, or form is pure fallacy... but for some reason 2nd amendment proponents get away with using this logical fallacy as a shield.
And I say this as a gun owner.
Amendments are not untouchable, no amendment is absolute, so stop treating the 2nd amendment as if any infringement is tantamount to ripping the entire Constitution to shreds...
