Get rid of the guns. In Kansas, Missouri, everywhere. Amend the Constitution and protect our kids. (detached from reality alert)

Gays are increasingly arming themselves.

Clay’s over-the-top holophobia is coming from somewhere else.

What about life-long Canadian stoners?

Skinner: Well, I was wrong. The lizards are a godsend.
Lisa: But isn't that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we're overrun by lizards?
Skinner: No problem. We simply release wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes. They'll wipe out the lizards.
Lisa: But aren't the snakes even worse?
Skinner: Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat.
Lisa: But then we're stuck with gorillas!
Skinner: No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.

This is at least the proper way to do it. The founding fathers provided a procedure to modify the Constitution, with the expectation that there would be frequent changes as history progressed and everything change.

All you need is 2/3 of the House, 2/3 of the Senate, and 3/4 of the states.

Good luck!

It takes a lot of high-powered street drugs taken over a long period of time to turn someone’s brain into mush like this. So sad. Another life wasted doing drugs and drinking far too much hard alcohol.

Actually, the first 10 Amendments happened in one stroke.

This, we’ve changed the Constitution 17 times, technically.

[Nervous Tick]

Yeah, point taken. I was just quoting the squishy douchebag, but I see I forgot the quote mark punctuation, so my bad.

[Noumenon]

No. Your move.

The KC incident wasn’t a mass shooting. Just a bunch of thugs thugging and folks were in the way. Unfortunately, a beautiful woman was killed. Also, many of the “kids” injured were thugs involved as well.

[peggybac]

Lawrence is a cesspool of liberals.

Clay, first of all our rights don’t come from the Constitution, the Constitution merely rights we inherently have ‘from the laws of nature and nature’s God’. So even if your wish came true, we’d still have those rights.

Secondly, to amend the Constitution, requires a 2/3rds vote in both houses of Congress and ratification by 3/4ths of the states’ legislatures. This means that it takes only 12 states to block your stupid idea. Since 27 states, including Kansas, now allow permit less concealed carry, it seems likely that any attempt to outlaw private possession of firearms via the Constitution is not going to happen soon.

And then there’s the whole ‘well-regulated militia’ bit. The militia at the time of the Bill of Rights was every able-bodied man in a community (with a few exceptions) capable of defending against attack. The Indian attacks of King Phillip’s War were relatively recent history and of course it was the militias that first confronted the Brits in New England during the Revolution. Of course the authors of the 2nd Amendment wanted the people to be able to keep and bear arms.

So, no, we’ll keep our firearms, thank you very much. If they scare you, you can move to Canada where firearms are restricted or move to Mexico where there is only one gun store in the whole country. You and your kids will be safe there.

So am I. They can all go to hell.

[No name given]

You and me both.

My thoughts exactly.

At the very end of the article:

Clay graduated from the University of Kansas and lives in Lawrence with his husband and son.

I will not listen to/hear another word from these perverted people. Done.

Get rid of the journalists.

Change the U.S. Constitution, which we as a nation have managed 27 times already in this evolving democracy. Restore the First Amendment to its original meaning — ensuring the right to speak freely, and get rid of the Marxist hacks “journalists” that have taken the place of news reporters.

Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story sums it up well.

3 Reasons for the 2nd.

Protect our property.

Protect our borders. (Well that’s over but worked in WWII.)

PROTECT US FROM OUR GOVERMENT!!!!

[Georgia Girl 2]

Can’t wait to get up to our rural compound this weekend and do some shooting on our little gun range that Mr. GG2 has set up. 😉

And it would not have been ratified had the Second Amendment not been enshrined in the BOR.
