@Renickulous No they are not, yet there are professors at elite universities that will also state that the literalistic thinking of the constitution is not a fact.
Our political system has become a system of of money and it doesn't matter if one says they are a republican or democrat.

@Renickulous Is that so. I would say that if you are going on and on about free speech but are complaining when someone says what they think that is in my book trying to destroy the constitution. That is the way it starts. Normalisation of what you do not like.

@Renickulous I don't think that there is any protection for the average person from the government in the US, just look at all the whistleblowers.

@Renickulous So you would be happy if a internal war started then?

@Renickulous I can see that you are part of the problem. Anybody who thinks that the solution is in violence is mistaken. That only begets more violence.

@Renickulous I am not demonising you, remember we are having a discussion, even though we may not agree on things, but I want to bring it to you that violence never solves anything. I know you live in the US and guns outnumber people there, but there are other ways, and violence is not one of them. Unfortunately a country who "worships" guns will perish by it, as it is already happening there. I wish you happiness and contentment, my friend. And yes I know we are not "friends" but I feel for you. It must be so frustrating for you, seeing what is happening around you and wanting to do something, but that something should not be at the end of a gun.

@Renickulous Gosh, democrat run cities is bad? WTF. I live in Australia and we have strict gun laws and we do not have gun violence here. Sorry yes we do once in a blue moon, criminals shooting other criminals. Our last massacre was in 1996. After that stringent gun laws were put into place and rest is history. Sorry for the swearing but it makes me mad when you blame one party or another when it comes to guns. I don't think it has much to do with democrats or republicans but with people in the US some of them are just too violent and too ready to shoot someone who has a different opinion then them.

@Renickulous Actually Australian crimes are going down all over Australia and when you say that we "mass unarmed" ourselves you are not really aware that we never did have a big problem with guns in the first place. It was never like it is in the US, people just did not have guns to start of with. What I know of the US and its people and the constitution is that it is not followed. By the way when you talk about the democratic cities with tons of guns, you need to take into account that in the democratic cities there are also right wing republicans, and how do you not know that it is not them that are doing the violent crimes? Gun laws in the US mean nothing, not worth the paper they are written on, when your presidents signs a law saying that it is ok for mentally ill people to carry guns. And why are you ranting that foreigners want to destroy your constitution, don't you know how that foreigners cannot change or destroy it. That has to be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a convention of states called for by two-thirds of the state legislatures. By the way the so called foreigners do know what is better for people than a lot of US citizens do, after all they have and do live in countries that do not have guns.

Of course you will, after all we do not have any idea of what is going to be said.
