The devastation to our country due to birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens has been a lot more damaging then a few people owning assualt rifles. Nice try though.

Yeah I'm pretty sure the 2nd is way more outdated than the 14th...

Many weapons end up in the hands of drug cartels which enables them to keep supplying the US with drugs and all the problems associated with illegal drug consumption. It is hard to measure this damage but it does exist.

Curious - are there any other countries that allow a non-citizen to have a child and have that child be pronounced a "citizen"??

Actually curious - no flaming "you hate XXXXX people" replies needed.

Yes, less than 20% of the world's countries, but most of the Western Hemisphere: Jus soli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Has the threat of tyranny changed? Of a gov bent on denying rights? I think not.

Hopefully we will soon start celebrating that birthright citizenship was removed from it and interpreted correctly.

Why would the 14th amendment need interpreting correctly or otherwise if it's been removed?

The 14th Amendment also has the equally important "Due Process" and "Equal Protection Under the Law" areas...

Maybe she meant re-interpreting one or both of those?...
