ORIGINAL: GMMAT

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.
