October 9, 20169 yr It is 2016. It will need to be 10,000 pages long to properly explain every Article. There are currently 15,000 different interpretations of the First Amendment. Every Amendment needs to be clear and precise in a day and age where every word is taken literally. Fortune 500 companies don't run on values from 1787. Why do we want our country ran that way? A lot has changed since then. See: PurplePride92 typing from his phone and not picking cotton in South Carolina. Constitution isn't meant to have or explain every law in the country. We have tax code, criminal codes, civil statutes for that and there are already 100s of thousands of pages of those. Constitution needs to lay out the basic rights of our citizens and the boundaries of government. It souldn't be something that tells us what to do if someone leaves a burning bag of dog crap on the porch or answer every possible scenario that comes up.

October 9, 20169 yr I don't disagree. Now can you please explain that to all these Trump supporters I know who swear Hillary is going to take their guns......... She won't take them. She may tax the living crap out of ammo and drive gun prices up by making Smith and Wesson liable if you use their gun to shoot someone. But I don't think even HRC would try confiscation.
October 9, 20169 yr She won't take them. She may tax the living crap out of ammo and drive gun prices up by making Smith and Wesson liable if you use their gun to shoot someone. But I don't think even HRC would try confiscation. This is what the anti-gun crowd doesn't understand. The problem is criminals will still have them no matter how many laws are changed.
October 9, 20169 yr I don't disagree. Now can you please explain that to all these Trump supporters I know who swear Hillary is going to take their guns......... Not a Trump supporter but Hillary WILL do everything she can to make it next to impossible to own a gun or buy ammunition. You don't have to confiscate to make a burdensome impact on law abiding gun owners.

Correct on both accounts.
October 9, 20169 yr This is what the anti-gun crowd doesn't understand. The problem is criminals will still have them no matter how many laws are changed. So will honest Americans who still want guns.
October 9, 20169 yr So will honest Americans who still want guns. She can make them harder to get for honest, law abiding Americans. That is who any gun legislation regulates, it's not the criminals.
October 9, 20169 yr So will honest Americans who still want guns. Only rich, honest Americans if she has her way.
