This is news to me

 

[Smart Marx]

Yeah, you implied changing the name of the mass shootings would trick Americans into changing their beliefs on the constitution.

 

[Hoss]

 

[Deezy]

You man like how they fooled everyone to take their shoes off in airports?

 

[Deezy]

Or fooled people into chanting for sending women back to their country....even if they were American?

 

[Deezy]

Or fooling people into thinking that Cheeto puffs president was "a man if God"?

 

[Smart Marx]

Someone put a bomb in their shoe and now they as a private business can ask us to take our shoes off. We don't have a constitutionally protected right to fly on airplanes.

 

[Deezy]

We also had a guy with an underwear bomb.....should we take those off too?

 

[Smart Marx]

I'd day no, but it isn't up to me. Like I said, we don't have the right to fly on said airplanes. I'll let the courts decide if they ask for too much, but taking off our shoes isn't.

 

[Deezy]

Constitutionally protected right was for muskets because the British were coming back for a rematch.....

 

[Deezy]

So called founding fathers didn't see semi automatic and automatic weapons available to the public

 

[Deezy]

And....separation of church and state isn't being protected anymore.....why is this?

 

[Smart Marx]

That couldn't be anymore wrong. Like historically and factually.

 

[Smart Marx]

First off, they would have said for muskets only, but they didn't. Thomas Jefferson was even sent a letter asking if a civilian could have a FUCKING cannon on their ship and Jefferson replied, of course. That's your right to do so. Secondly, the Constitutional Congress actually were well aware of the existence of automatic weapons and even commissioned the Puckle Gun for use in the militias, but wound up being too expensive. There were several guns of their kind by 1781 and the US had no problem with their citizens owning any of them. The point of the article in the bill was that the militia would be equally equipped as the army was. Washington even had to fight US militias that rose up all the time over the next few decades. The easiest thing in the world for Washington to do was revoke the second, but they believed in it.
