Man this is getting ridiculous! Our forefathers started a war over taxing a drink! The people were meant to be armed to protect us from the goverment taking us over!
Recent polling finds gun control, remains an important political issue with voters. A CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey of Americans in December showed 65 percent believe the Constitution guarantees each person the right to own a gun, while 31 percent said no.
The short of the long is the question that asks wether or not the 60 percent have the right, ability and power to remove a god given right from the remaining 40 percent?
The local liberal tv news has a poll at www.wlos.com asking about the privilege to own guns. check it out.
I don't think so ... it's not as if the Constitution is amended by a popular vote. I'm thinking that 3/4 of the States must agree to an amendment, which means that it takes 13 States to stop an amendment ... if I'm doing the math correctly, the 13 smallest (least populated) States contain less than 5% of the population, and so theoretically 5% of the people could stop an amendment.I rather doubt that 'we' are a minority. If we truely were, then 'they' could disarm us by amending the Constitution.
The US is not a popular government, it is a federal system. As I have previously explained, an amendment could pass 95% of a popular vote and still not pass 3/4 of the States. Or is my math incorrect?Absolutely, the majority does have that right. How can anyone argue otherwise? The right of the majority exists in the proper procedures for amending our constitution.
Both Houses are currently representing the people; Senators are now elected by popular vote. Pity.One House of that Congress is representative of the people.
