Amendments 18 and 21

18 was prohibition and 21 repeals it

Alcohol prohibition

Or maybe you need to trust your local police more. The only reason I own a shotgun is because I've got 56 hectares and even then, I've never gotten more shells.

[MoltenKitten]

okay whats your point
a law was made and it was stuff so it was repealed
how does this make the constitution mean nothing

Maybe the fact that we can add amendments to make past amendments null and void

he stopped a mass shooting, police weren't there and ready to stop the criminal, it could have easily resulted in a few deaths, rather than one

Maybe the fact that we can add amendments to make past amendments null and void

the fact that the constitution is flexible and can be mended makes it worthless?

[Drydess]

Who says that it'd ever pass Congress?

Yeah, but that's true about any law.

It would be really really stuff if a previous law/government could impose on a new law/government.

That said, I agree with your sentiment in that the constitution shouldn't be the be-all and end-all of arguments. It has several amendments, so it's clearly not some divine law that is always right, and should never be changed.

The police must always be ready for the worst that could hapen and the US has to learn that giving people the option to buy a weapon at Walmart is a terrible idea. I'm even impressed that mass shootings never happened here with all of the reasons one could have to do it considering footbal and political parties.

[Trogtor]

i think what molten is saying is that after the 21st amendment people found out they can easily bend the constitution

Police are not Omnipresent beings just fyi

Yeah but your country has a reason to be Robocop the movie

why is being able to buy guns at places like walmart a terrible thing
you can get them on the internet even, but the buying process is all the same no matter how you try to get one

A citizen shouldn't have firearms and if they need it, they must have a good reason to have it. Going to a store to buy a firearm is a very very bad idea. To get my shotty, I had to go to the capital, head to the center to the RENAR building, register a firearm, pay the licensing fee, take a three month course at the federal range and every six months I have to head to a local police station to get it checked. A handfull of citizens have the patience to do that. Also, the firearm is registered under your name so if something were to happen, the person whose name is on the registry gets dettained automatically. I don't know how it is in the US but I'm certain that having one is very simple otherwise this stuff shouldn't happen.

you forget that america was built on rights like these
the british tried to take away everyones guns as soon as things went south, same with other corrupt governments

[sir dooble]

I'm not taking the blame.
