I hate Christmas so people can declare war on it all they want for all I care. By the way, a reference to an unknown god is not respecting a religion. The fact that most of the founding fathers were deists and referenced “the creator” in founding documents is a testament to that.
By the way, the second amendment does protect the use of “assault weapons” (which is a subjective term). Machine guns are already nearly impossible to buy and sell legally. People in favor of any type of weapons ban need to argue an amendment to the constitution. I don’t support the idea that the constitution is a new age “living, breathing” document, if the constitution doesn’t allow a law, then it must be amended in order to pass that law. For example, the war on drugs is unconstitutional. The federal government has no power to outlaw substances, which is why they had to amend the constitution for prohibition.
That’s probably a conversation best held in the Politics thread 😃
