  1. I'm also Australian but went to college in America (late 80s). I did engineering but a bunch of my friends were pre-law and we had many discussions on the amendments. Mostly about 1st & 4th because they were topics then and rarely the 2nd because it wasn't a big deal then. Not like it is now. I now see the US Constitution as one of the great tragedies of human history. For all its brilliance (and it is brilliant), its open to abuse, which is what we see these days. I studied Orwell in high school and my friends always refuted Orwellian ideas with "It can't happen the constitution has too many inbuilt safety functions." So we never discussed the possibility of stacking SCOTUS with maniacs, because the Constitution had those safety functions. Nobody thought a person like Mitch McConnell would be so debased, unethical and immoral he'd override those safety functions to get what he wanted. By abuse I mean look at the 1st part of the 2nd Amendment which is so rarely heard. "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State..." The actual purpose of the 2nd was to ensure the security (as in safety) of the population by a WELL REGULATED militia. So how does Greg Abbott's (the Texas Governor) allowing anyone to just to buy a handgun so long as they can prove they are over 18 come under the concept of "well regulated." What the US Gun Lobby has done is flip the simple concept of "lets have security" into "f**k off I want my guns and I don't care what chaos it causes." That's abuse.

  2. Don't forget that most of the pro-gun population are also pro-life and want Roe v Wade overturned. So they are pro-life before berth and pro-massacre once children reach school age. Maybe the next t-short to be printed should have a slogan like: "If you're pro-life for the unborn then why aren't you pro-life for school children?" Just a heads up before anyone goes to the t-shirt store. These people might not act rationally to a rational question and the possibility of a violent reaction is high.

  3.  @MrZombiecorpse  JUST FK-OFF with that crap or are you trying to claim Timothy McVeigh, the Arian Nation, KKK, and others are Commies. Maybe we have those guys wrong and the "Red Neck" is actually a reference to communism.
