<<I state that the current push for banning semi automatic rifles, pistols and shotguns is unconstitutional based on historic interpretation of the Second Amendment and the recent Court case of Emerson<<

But is it a wise course of action? The consitution is a living document. We change it all the time. Our courts even change its meaning as our cultrue evolves.

Our consitution used to allow slavery and not allow women to vote. But our supreme court and congress changed it to keep up with the times.

What kind of constitution allows slavery, segregation and doesn't allow women to vote? One that is outdated.

When I have ceased to break my wings;
Against the faultiness of things;
And learned that compromises wait;
Behind each hardly opened gate;
When I can look life in the eyes;
Grown calm and very coldly wise;
Life will have given me the truth;
And taken in echange-my youth.

From wisdom by Sara Teasdale
