Anti-Gun Nuts Are Confused

Lately we've seen a deluge of articles like this one bemoaning the Second Amendment to the US Constitution:

Dear Anti-Gun Nuts - Every part of our constitution is sacred - EVERY PART. That's why it contains the following clauses:

Article II, Section 1
8: Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation: - “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

Article VI
3: The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution ...

It also contains THIS clause:

Article V
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress ...

It seems to me that you don't just want to curb gun ownership; you want to throw out the entire constitution and replace it with mob rule managed by Silicon Valley and Hollywood via a corrupt Internet.

I'm not going to support such a thing, and I urge everyone else to do the following:

If you want to curb gun ownership, get together peacefully and change the US Constitution. And stop your whining.

  1. In spite of what THIS article claims, gun control is NOT the biggest issue in our country today:

    The biggest issue is our insane drive towards war with Syria, North Korea, Iran, and Russia. It's going to result in FAR more deaths than school shootings ever will.
