Shawn Mendenall Reminds me of an old saying by Jefferson about changing it every once in a while.
"“I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and Constitutions. But laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.”
In other words, unlike his conservative wannabe fan boys, he had a progressive view on how laws should benefit people and expand peoples freedoms as we become more advanced.
Conservatives not only want to limit those freedoms, but also take them away as regressives in a display of their own privileges.
Take same sex marriage. They want to limit the 1st amendment and freedom of religion to some, while excluding others. As if that was the intention of Jefferson when he wrote these words above.
Which brings me to another quote which should make his conservative wannabe fan club to shiver:
"the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. it is it's natural manure."
Christian conservatives, and corporate hacks from both parties has become those tyrants!
Besides, GOP and DNC seems to be pissing on the 1st amendment already.
As they have pissed on the 4th Amendment, 6th amendment, 7th amendment, and 8th amendment.
You see, according to some, those bill of rights are as sacred as human rights.
But these human rights applies only to conservative European Christians with the correct political affiliation it seems.
Isn''t it time to flush out the old with the bath water? Old corrupt politicians? Destructive ideologies like nationalism, capitalism and religion?

@adamhauson1211 " When was the last time you heard about a mass shooter from Rural America?"
Practically every week. That's where your gun nuts, and MAGA people who wants to force us ungrateful proles to bown down and 'respect' their big daddy government emperor Donnie Tinyhands.
Besides, what do you need assault weapons for anyway?
Feeling the sports hunter in you whenever you shoot a family of jack rabbits with an Uzi?
Feeling the fair game when shooting a deer with a bazooka?
Committing mass murder on a flock of geese with an AK47?
Unless you are in a well regulated militia, there is no reason for you to have any of these things.... Especially if you're one of those tin foil hat patients who think that CIA and libs are out to "get yer guns" and give to Antifa and BLM. Those are the dangerous ones.
And if you want to find people way to mentally unstable, then look no further than Donnie draft dodgers' most fanatical fan base.
On top of that, if these 'rights' are 'natural rights', howcome neither neocons, alt-righters, neolibs, and religious nutcases don't give a shit about the 4th, 6th, 7th and the 8th amendment? And why do they think those 'rights' only applies to a certain kind of people?
