Not with a "shall not be infringed" directive. Period.

note the specific wording in section one of the 21st amendment. it spells out that the 18th amendment is hereby repealed.
The 18th Amendment does not contain the "shall not be infringed" directive. You're incorrect. Period.

Still a speed bump and you don't register a right. It will never be amended.

A right that "cannot be infringed" cannot be modified. Period.

The reason we have a 10th amendment is for states authority. But because there is a 2nd amendment directing who is in control of the arms, the 10th amendment cannot apply in any way to the 2nd amendment, which is the right of the people to make, supply, carry and use arms, to remain a free society.


Where in the US Constitution, do we give the federal government by name, the authority to keep and bear arms. Even though government is made up of people, they are not the people. They are the government.

That's all. It's designed to protect the innocent, NOT to thwart the would-be-legal gun owner. Much like I said early on that diatribe, try not to jump to conclusions as you put down the JC Whitney catalog while sitting in the outhouse.

I propose a reading test prior to voting. Anyone who can't comprehend the issues on the ballot doesn't deserve to vote. I hope this isn't too hard for you to comprehend.

Be careful with that stuff. You can't argue for one and not the other, whatever the other may be.

Unless you're a liberal. Then it's ok.
