#2 VS #14

I must strongly disagree, Shawnee.

The right to keep and bear arms is spelled out in the Constitution. You can dispute what a "well regulated militia" means all you want. The right of citizens to own firearms has been upheld by the USSC. It is not illegal for law-abiding citizens to own firearms for hunting and self protection.

It IS illegal for someone to come into the country by sneaking across the border to pop out an anchor baby (or to smuggle drugs, find work...whatever). It doesn't matter WHY they're coming here...it does not change the fact that they are in the country illegally.

I'm sure you do know that the Constitution has been tweeked from time to time. So, in that respect, you are correct. It is NOT never-changing.

To sum it up...
1. The 2nd Amendment is about freedom and protecting our democracy. Are you anti-gun people against freedom and protecting the democracy?
2. The 14th Amendment needs to be changed to close this giant loophole which allows a flood of illegals into the country. I am all in favor of the children of LEGAL immigrants being citizens because they have gone through the process to do so legally.

So, we can agree to disagree.
