Cyclone Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Thankfully no politician, even the President can dicker around with what is contained in the US Constitution. The Second Amendment grants citizens the right to bear arms. If any politician or President could change an amendment to suit his own personal agenda there would be no sense in having a constitution in the first place. The power to debate and add an addendum to an existing Amendment lies with the highest court in the land... the Supreme Court There are laws already on the books that restrict ownership of certain types of weapons, who can and who cannot carry them around in public, the way to transport them, the penalty for misuse of weapons. There are loonies and bad asses walking around, always have been, always will be. That is an accepted fact. Obama's efforts to pass laws in the hopes that they will work is like ******* against a 90 MPH wind and all it will do is inconvenience law abiding gun owners while the criminal element will just ignore them Obviously it IS possible to amend the constitution, that's how the amendments came about in the first place! ---------- Post added 27-07-2015 at 13:30 ---------- Campaigning on gun control in the US would be like having a manifesto pledge to abolish the NHS over here. Political suicide. So he should just run a PR campaign and then quietly privatise it on the side. It's working for the conservatives after all. ---------- Post added 27-07-2015 at 13:33 ---------- The defences that gun proponents put forward for the status quo are laughable. Cars kill more people. So what. It's do gooders... As if stopping thousands of deaths a year from firearms is something that any right minded person wouldn't want...

unbeliever Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 The defences that gun proponents put forward for the status quo are laughable. Cars kill more people. So what. It's do gooders... As if stopping thousands of deaths a year from firearms is something that any right minded person wouldn't want... Is that what Chuck Norris would do?

Cyclone Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) He doesn't need a gun of course. • Guns don't kill people. Chuck Norris kills people. • Chuck Norris played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won. • Chuck Norris is the only person who can simultaneously hold and fire FIVE Uzis: One in each hand, one in each foot – and the 5th one he roundhouse-kicks into the air, so that it sprays bullets. • James Bond uses a silencer, Chuck Norris uses a loudener • The meteor that killed the dinosaur was actually a bullet from Chuck Norris. • Guns take shooting lessons from Chuck Norris.
