You trivialize the Law of the Nation a bit too much, by assuming its silly due to being long lived or old.

I suppose lots of things are irrelevant and foolish because they're old, but thats not a game anyone wants to play.

Remember, "these guys a couple hundred years ago said..." You're free to speak without being arrested, Cops shouldn't have the right to just take your stuff, that you shouldn't be imprisoned and sentenced without a trial nor forced to incriminate yourself in a criminal trial nor go without a defensive attorney, and that its possible for later amendments to be drafted and ratified. And what "these guys a couple hundred years ago said..." Is the current foundation of most of the rights you currently enjoy (or complain about the government abusing).

My point was that the excuse used to delay or prevent gun control is that the founders intended the amendment so it can't be changed. Which is stupid considering it's called the 2nd... Amendment

These guys a couple of hundred years ago also advocated for slavery and women not being allowed to vote or own property. You're not making a good point here

Thats what I said.

Not, "They're ever writ and word was good".
