President Biden recently came up with the interesting statement that "No Constitutional amendment is absolute". It's the usual wishful thinking that liberals use when they want to violate an amendment, usually the 2nd. They also frequently use the phrase "reasonable restrictions".

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/bid...nt-is-absolute

Keep in mind that when leftist do-gooders say they want only a few more "reasonable restrictions" on guns, it's because the restrictions they imposed last year didn't work. Crime and mass shootings continue merrily along, and even increase. And so now they want to impose a few more regulations and restrictions. And when those don't work, next year a few more. And every time, their latest round of restrictions, never bring down the murder rate or severe-crime rate.

Liberals are 0-for-everything in reducing "gun crimes" or lowering the murder rate, etc. How many times have they put over "gun control" laws? We have, what, upwards of 20,000 such laws, all of questionable constitutionality. And what does Joe find himself facing? Mass shootings are happening more and more during the three months of his term so far. Any chance he'll take the failure rate of liberals' "reasonable restrictions" into account, before adding more of them?

So-called "gun control" laws are only obeyed by the law-abiding. And they aren't the ones causing the problem.

Republican governors will reverse these laws via executive orders. It may not technically be legal (like states legalizing marijuana) but watch them anyways.

What Biden said was true. It's what he didn't say....the process for making changes to the Constitution.

The majority of Americans probably have no idea how the Constitution is changed. They probably think all it takes is a vote from Congress and voila.the words change.

And the mass shootings continue to skyrocket as we enter the 6th month of his term. Won't liberals EVER learn?

Never mind the Supreme Court decision a LONG time ago, where the justices wrote that any law that is hostile to the Constitution, is null and void. Most so-called "gun control" laws fall into that category. Whether leftists call them "reasonable restrictions" or something else.

That's another mechanism by which governors, mayors etc. can throw out unconstitutional laws. They just have to grow enough spine to do it.

Around 12% of the nation in terms of the population controls 60% of the senate will continue to drive resistance to gun laws, red states rule and business as usual. The answer is always more guns and less restrictions.

Nor that the Mexican drug cartels are getting most (approximately 70%) of their guns from the United States due to lax gun laws.
