Topic	A really poignant tweet on why we should re-examine the 2nd Amendment.
weapon_d00d816 11/07/17 6:11:48 PM #17:	lilORANG posted... weapon_d00d816 posted... lilORANG posted... the 3/5ths compromise has since been addressed and amended. We can do the same for the second amendment. But why? It's a good amendment. I'm addressing the OP's position that we should look at the 2nd amendment because it was written by the same people who made the 3/5ths compromise. We came together to reject the 3/5ths compromise, but not the 2nd amendment. You have to look at the history behind the 3/5ths compromise to see why it's different. It was a deal. Deals end, especially when their subject matter is no longer even valid. The second amendment was more ideological and rights-based. They're both amendments, but of a fundamentally different nature. --- SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SlG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SlG <cite>weapon_d00d816 posted [p:889955108] in A really p...
