I don't care what the founding fathers would say or want. They aren't here.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I'm confused. This sounds like a pro-unfettered-access-to-assault-rifles argument. (e.g. Man: But the founding fathers didn't intend for the Second Amendment to allow for access to instruments of mass casualty because they couldn't have foreseen the advancements that would be made to guns. Woman: I'm going to stop you right there trying to restrict my access to guns based on what you believe they intended. It says my right to keep and bare arms shall NOT be infringed. Period.)

They aren't here and they could not even have imagined the world as it is today. Coping with the challenges of today by limiting ourselves to past solutions doesn't even make any sense.

Maybe it’s time we all get over the Founding Fathers’ so-called intent? The Constitution, if it is to mean anything, should be a living breathing and constantly evolving document. Otherwise, one may just as well accept the Holy Bible as a foundational and fundamentalist document and be a religionist.

Hush! It’s not like they aren’t trying to do that already!
Ah, but when was the last time we had an amendment? And have we ever made an amendment to address the rampant and pervasive corruption that now undercuts everything that should be happening? So-called "Originalists" vying to get on SCOTUS shouldn't even get a hearing if that is their perspective.
