    They also act like the founders are gods whose supposed wishes need to be followed unquestioningly forever.

      Well, ironically just like with the bible, they pick and choose on that one. For example, 2A is considered to be a natural law equivalent to gravity by them, but the founding fathers also intended for the constitution to grow and change and be amended (eg: the ‘A’ in ‘2A’) but that doesn’t ever really come up…

        I always think of this comedian pointing out the irony. IT’S CALLED AN AMENDMENT!!! The 2A group make me sick. And I don’t mean people who support it in general or like guns or whatever but… the people who make it their identity, the key issue.

        What? Like THAT is what American rights are to you? Getting to own a mini cannon??
