Inviolability is an ideal, not a practical reality. I do hold the law to be inviolable -without potential for consequence-. If I go to jail for for some illegal thing I've done, I understand why and I accept that I'd be going to jail for it. Even if I didn't think I should be going to jail for it. As I said, I'd be a criminal, it would blow...but that's the way it is. Not the normal kind of criminal mind you, who's done something shitty to someone...just the kind that has something other people think he shouldn't.
No, no, wait yeah, I'd be the normal kind of criminal, the ones our prisons are filled to bursting with. Perpetrators of nonviolent, victimless offenses.
-and still i respect our institution of law....I mean cmon, trying to draw those two together in my case is going to be like banging your head against a brick wall. Give me a flag and a gun, I'll march for you if you like. I really don't know what I'd have to say to help you understand that people who respect and honor things still break laws. A gun ban is not our constitution in the first place, so I don't even see the relevance.
Quote:I ask as contrast to the gunners who say the 2A is sacred and should never, ever, be touched, even by the people the Constitution allows to change it when they see the need, that being the American people.
If we erased it, I mean literally erased it and any knowledge of it. That still wouldn't get rid of my claim on my guns, as I've already mentioned - the 9th. In fact I think we could, effectively, remove the second. I don't know why we would, but meh. In any case, I think that many people feel that the constitution (and government in the general) is in the business, or should be in the business... of protecting rights, not removing them.
