I'll start with the 14th before I get to the 2nd amendment because I want to make a point. Since the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment to the constitution on July 9, 1868, the citizenship of persons born in the United States has been controlled by its Citizenship Clause, which states:
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
Now this... liberalism at its finest. They want to repeal the 2nd amendment. It's a "historical anachronism and should be repealed." Yet, merely amending the 14th amendment with just three words "of legal parents" as in..."All persons born of legal parents or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." How could any true American be against this? Of course, liberals want no part of it. This would put an end to anchor babies or as liberals see it... future constituents. According to a report I read 38% of the federal prison population are illegals. I wonder how many of those used a gun to commit a crime?
LAPD most wanted.
See anybody with the last name Johnson on there?
The Founding Fathers were smart.

Repeal the Second Amendment
8:00 a.m. EST, December 23, 2012
What does the Second Amendment actually say? "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." The Second Amendment has become a part of our history and culture. It was based on the English Bill of Rights of 1689, a measure that itself grew out of conditions between Catholics and Protestants in England more than 300 years ago.
The measure was adopted into our Constitution more than 200 years ago. But today the Second Amendment is a historical anachronism and should be repealed. We should no longer be the only industrialized country in the world that allows its citizens easy access to firearms.
There are 300 million guns in the U.S. Britain today has very strict gun possession laws. In 2008-2009 it had only 39 fatalities from firearms, while the U.S. had 12,000. In Japan there were only 11 fatalities from guns during that period. Baltimore can have that many on a single bad weekend.
Do we need another Newtown? Another Aurora, Colo., Oak Creek, Wis., Tucson, Ariz., or Virginia Tech? Republican politicians insisted during the last presidential campaign that the prestige and respect of the U.S. had declined during the past four years. Our unthinking tolerance of gun violence may well be one of the reasons. I firmly believe that repealing the anachronistic Second Amendment will lead us to fulfill former President Ronald Reagan's hope for the U.S. to become "a beacon light guiding freedom loving people everywhere."

They conveniently left out more people die every year from smoking, drinking, car accidents etc, then die from guns. I wonder why when Timothy McVey killed 168 people with a bomb made from fertilizer they didn't call for a ban on Scotts Weed & Feed? BTW...Why is McVey dead and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed still among the living?
