who said I am for dismanteling the other amendmants? oh right, you did, for no reason whatsoever
way to make up an arguement that does not exist, and to put words in my mouth.
I am pro all amendmants, and would not support removal of any of them.
without the 2nd though, all the other ones can be taken away much easier.
so how about instead of making up lies about me wanting to do away with the other amendmants,
you actually see that I am trying to protect the other amendmants, by preserving the 2nd, which in the end is the only real guarantee of keeping the other amendmants.

If the second amendment actually protected the others, patriot act and various others would have led to killing sprees in DC, but they didn't, because you just need to be pro-one thing that republicans stand for, and guns being the easy one, and you can get away with virtually anything, its turned into a party of loosely connected wedge issues.

I do agree with the sentiment that the left has no problem destroying the peoples rights that they dont agree with,

I also agree that the right has no problem destroying the rights of the left that they dont agree with.

why you think I am even partisan, shows how one sided your thinking is.

the whole constitution stays, I am just as mad at bush for the patriot act, Iraq war ect
as I am at obama for cispa, not closing gitmo like he promised, and this 2nd amendmant related stuff.

if you want to be another lefty who works to kill the rights favorite amendmants,
you are no better then a righty who works to kill the lefts favorite amendmants,

that people did not take to the streets shooting people over things like the patriot act ... well really? you expected/preferred a civil war over that?

keep having one side of the spectrum chipping away at the other side of the spectrums favorite amendmants, and you might get what you wish for.

my point remains, that either side of the political spectrum, trying to dismantle ANY part of the constitution, or change it without due process, is WRONG

why you keep blatently assuming I support patriot act or bush, is narrow minded and insulting.

take the time to actually read and digest what I am saying instead of luming me as some crazy right winger just because I dont agree with your assertion that the 2nd amendmant is useless.
