Enough is Enough: The Second Amendment Hypocrisy

Let's Stop Pretending This Makes Sense

Amendment (Definition): A change or addition to a document.

The U.S. Constitution has been amended 27 times.

Let's cut the nonsense. This idea that the Second Amendment is untouchable is absolute garbage. For centuries, everyone knew gun rights were tied to militia duty—not every American packing unlimited firepower. That changed dramatically in 2008 with the Supreme Court’s District of Columbia v. Heller decision, slammed by historians as historically bogus.

Let's get real: The Founders had muskets—slow, cumbersome, barely lethal compared to today's AR-15s. Guns unloading dozens of rounds in seconds were beyond imagination. Yet, we treat this outdated amendment as sacred while mass shootings become routine.

Other countries get it. The UK, Japan, Australia—all strict gun laws, far fewer deaths. America, with nearly 49,000 gun deaths each year, pretends this is the cost of freedom. It’s not freedom—it’s insanity.

The worst part? The hypocrisy. Trump and supporters scream about protecting the Second Amendment but casually suggest trashing birthright citizenship or a third presidential term. The Constitution isn’t a buffet; you can't pick and choose based on convenience.

The Supreme Court must confront the damage it helped create. We need clear, honest arguments that reflect the modern reality of gun violence. No more excuses. No more delay.
