Message: <blockquote data-quote="Seth247" data-source="post: 1613896" data-attributes="member: 12010">Yes but remember the second amendment isn't the only part of the constitution. For instance. If I was to kill someone with a handgun in cold blood, that WOULD be illegal under the constitution, but not in relation the the gun. I would not be guilty of a firearm homicide, simply a homicide, since I would have violated said persons Right to Life.(capitalized on purpose) The firearm would not enter into the matter. So while it's true that the second amendment doesn't address the mis-use of the Arm, other parts of the constitution do address the consequences of that mis-use. This is the reason I believe the American constitution is one of the most inspired and well thought out pieces of governmental planning ever recorded. A person has the right do whatever they please, as long as the activity does not violate those same rights of another person. Civilization literally cannot be any more free than that and still be civilization. Of course, that's all assuming we lived in an era where lawmakers payed attention to the WORD of the constitution and not simply what they can fool the Mob into believing it means.</blockquote>
