The constitution is NOT a "living document",

Of course it is. What with all the folks sworn to support and defend it, and with it's provision for it's own amendment. What it isn't is an infinitely "interpretable" document. It means what it says, and that meaning doesn't change with time, absent a formal amendment.

Public Skuul teaches that it IS a "living document", made so by constantly being reinterpreted to remain relevant to the present.

I understand your point, but I clearly recall being told strait out that the constitution is a "living document" on many occasions.

The taxpayer funded liberal indoctrination camps K-12 would suspend any student with the temerity to argue otherwise.

Many post here have pointed out examples of Colleges that have no greater tolerance for historical accuracy and proper understanding of our constitution than the primary schools.

This is why I had to relearn so many things after escaping the public schools!

RKBA is a right, not a priveledge, it is not subject to any legitimate regulation under the constitution.
All those in prison merely for "gun control" infractions are political prisoners.
