Congress created the 18th amendment (prohibition) in 1920 and then repealed it via the 21st amendment in 1933
And when they decided it was time to get the money train rolling they created the 16th amendment in 1913 to make income tax constitutional.
Our political leaders have the ability to do whatever they want. All they have to do is amend the constitution and it's a done deal for anything they want to do.

I.... Never thought of it this way.
I honestly believe the 2nd amendment is hopelessly outdated. It was written during a time when law enforcement was non existent, our military was non existent, and we feared the wildlife - bears and what. All of the reasons we have the 2nd amendment no longer exist - We now have law enforcement that responds in minutes instead of days, we have the strongest military in the world, and we have animal control to deal with bears and whatnot.
The purpose of the 2nd amendment was also to protect the government - by suppressing insurrection, repelling invasion, and creating a milita...
I'm forty-four years old and not once have I had to defend my house from an intruder. The house across the street was robbed in broad daylight by three large Mexican construction workers - They thought the house was empty but they were scared off by a scrawny fifteen year old boy in his boxer shorts who was sleeping.
I've finally figured out my stance on gun control. I want new laws that bans the sale of any firearm ever for any reason. I have my firearms, and the rest of you are fucking insane.
