I'd rather die in freedom, then live in slavery. If you prefer safety over freedom, then you deserve neither and will get neither.
Also, what makes you think breaching the constitution would save lives? What breach of the constitution would 'save millions of lives'?
The constitution is not a set of recommendations that the government can follow at its leisure...it is LAW! Unless you think it should be okay for citizens to break laws to save lives, you should not even consider letting the government do it. There was meant to be a balance of power between the People and the Government. They were meant to keep each other in check. Both the People and the Government have laws they must abide by. Guess which group is NOT following the law? The government can not expect us to follow their laws, when they don't follow ours. Simple concept.
Letting everyone and anybody own a gun. Conservatives call it "a breach of the constitution", but right now it's real easy for a terrorist to go and pop off a couple dozen students at a school.
My right to own guns isn't about "hunting", it's about defending myself. Something that will PREVENT me being in a coffin, not ensure it.
You need to get past the two party concept. I am in no way a Conservative. I am a Libertarian, I am not well-liked by conservatives. There's more than just "Democrats" and "Republicans" out there.
I noticed you entirely ignored my statement about the constitution being law. But that's okay, I realize you aren't intellectually competent enough to argue with that. You don't know enough about the constitution to argue that, because you only know what CNN and the Public School system told you about the constitution. Well I hate to tell you, everything they told you is false. The constitution is not optional, it is mandatory.
