Default RE: My "bow only" poll

I'm just trying to get a "finger on the pulse" a "feel for the land" so to speak. I'm interested to find out if some are truly so inundated and absorbed with bow hunting to the point that they would give up rights covered by the very Constitution of the country they hunt in, in order to pursue "their" preferred form of hunting.

I'm just trying to figure out why someone is so willingly eager to put aside all the blood, sweat, tears, trials and tribulations endured by our fore fathers to make this country the greatest in the world......so they can bow hunt.[&:]Do they not realize that the weapon they are willing to ban was the very"tool" used to gain them the right to bow hunt in the first place?

Are some bow hunters so elitist and smug that they wouldgive up their 2nd Amendment right (or anyAmendment for that matter) and trample all over the Constitutionto do it?

Hmmmmmmm.......
There were steps put in place (via Article 5 of theUS Constitution)to alter the constitution. You know....."amendments". The second amendment was ratified as part of a 10 part amendment,known in popular terms as the "Bill of Rights". It's been done (amended and ratified) I "think" 27 times.

So.....the 2nd amendment wasn't originally part of the original doctrine.

If the proper steps are followed.....I'll accept the process outcome. It's the American way.

For ****s and giggles.....it would have been nice to ask a black MAN (prior to 1869) and ANY woman (prior to 1920) what they thought of our forefather's "foresight".

Constituitonal amendments have their place.....and if the proper channels are followed....I'll live with (AND accept)them......bar none.
