When Did It Become Unconstitutional To Exclude

Power Tends To Corrupt. But The Power In Washington Resides In Congress, If It Wants To Use It. It Can Do Anything-it Can Stop The Vietnam War. It Can Make Its Will Felt, If It Can Ever Get Its Act Together To Do Anything.

Nowhere Else In The Constitution Does A "right" Attributed To "the People" Refer To Anything Other Than An Individual Right. What Is More, In All Six Other Provisions Of The Constitution That Mention "the People," The Term Unambiguously Refers To All Members Of The Political Community, Not An Unspecified Subset... The Second Amendment Extends, Prima Facie, To All Instruments That Constitute Bearable Arms... The Very Text Of The Second Amendment Implicitly Recognizes The Pre-existence Of The Right And Declares Only That It "shall Not Be Infringed."

Words Have Meaning. And Their Meaning Doesn't Change.

The Court's Job Is To Uphold The Constitution And You Don't Call That Off In Times Of Crisis. Would The Framers Have Allowed This Practice?

That's The Argument Of Flexibility And It Goes Something Like This: The Constitution Is Over 200 Years Old And Societies Change. It Has To Change With Society, Like A Living Organism, Or It Will Become Brittle And Break. But You Would Have To Be An Idiot To Believe That. The Constitution Is Not A Living Organism; It Is A Legal Document. It Says Something And Doesn't Say Other Things.
