(11,464 posts)Thomas (the biggest hypocrite in the world if you ask me), raped and abused his SLAVES and got at least one pregnant without her consent,
who were not equal as HE himself wrote "all created equal" (except those that are not).
That is the biggest irony in the constitution and with the fabled founding fathers, some actually very awful people in 2012 times.
However, Jefferson was smart enough to make the constitution live and adaptable to the times so that any antiquidated laws can be modernized and updated.(something the tea party and libertarians always seem to forget, that the latest amendment is as or even more important than the 2nd amendment).
(which to me will allow #2 to someday have a totally different meaning than in the rightwing times we live in today where that will not quickly change.
But someday.
BTW-someone (and I am almost positive it was not you holdencaufield) said they stockpile guns and weapons as "an investment because over the years they will use say 100 a week or 1000 a week and need tens of thousands
However, I don't buy that excuse.
Because collectors and zealots (OF ANY HOBBY), always upgrade to whatever is the most modern thing one can buy, therefore they wouldn't want in 2020 the 2000 model of ammo, if there is something better
(Would Tiger Woods want to reach into his collection of 10,000 golf balls from Jack Nicklaus' time and use those, when more modern ones do the job better? Of course not.
And in Baseball, would someone use a ball from the deadball era now that we are in the homerun era?(or opposite)? NO they wouldn't.
So to whomever wrote in whatever post or gun thread that, may I say, that the answer was bullsheet, and I wish I had thought of this then(and I am not going through hundreds of posts trying to find that specific one which had it as one paragraph in the entire thing).
