A discussion on the 2nd amendment 3 pages in length and no one has thrown a fit and resorted to personal name calling...................yet.

It's lovely, isn't it.

Shut up.

Doodoo head

Yeah, like I'm going to get into it here and risk black helicopter abduction.   :tinfoil:

Owned a gun at 12, started drinking at 15 and couldn't vote until I was 22.  NTTAWWT.  Joined the military at 22 in order to protect my right to drink on the cheap at NCO clubs.

Homers.

I'm saving all my insults for future discussions of the Eighteenth and Twenty-first Amendments.  :tapsfingers:

But a Mr. or Ms. Someone did do this  [sm_cussing]... and then one of these :nono:

And then someone else kinda went... [sm_dontknow]...and then a little...  [sm_angry8]

18th:  worst amendment ever

21st:  best amendment ever

Bring it on.

lol  [sm_thumbsup2] [sm_buddies]

The 1st amendment is still the best ever. If you don't like what I'm saying, bite me.

• First Amendment: addresses the rights of freedom of religion (prohibiting the Congress establishment of religion over another religion through Law and protecting the right to free exercise of religion), freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the freedom of assembly, and freedom of petition.
• Second Amendment: declares "a well regulated militia" as "necessary to the security of a free State", and as explanation for prohibiting infringement of "the right of the people to keep and bear arms."
• Third Amendment: prohibits the government from using private homes as quarters for soldiers without the consent of the owners. The only existing case law regarding this amendment is a lower court decision in the case of Engblom v. Carey. [1]
• Fourth Amendment: guards against searches, arrests, and seizures of property without a specific warrant or a "probable cause" to believe a crime has been committed. Some rights to privacy have been inferred from this amendment and others by the Supreme Court.
• Fifth Amendment: forbids trial for a major crime except after indictment by a grand jury; prohibits double jeopardy (repeated trials), except in certain very limited circumstances; forbids punishment without due process of law; and provides that an accused person may not be compelled to testify against himself (this is also known as "Taking the fifth" or "Pleading the fifth"). This is regarded as the "rights of the accused" amendment. It also prohibits government from taking private property without "just compensation," the basis of eminent domain in the United States.
• Sixth Amendment: guarantees a speedy public trial for criminal offenses. It requires trial by a jury (of peers), guarantees the right to legal counsel for the accused, and guarantees that the accused may require witnesses to attend the trial and testify in the presence of the accused. It also guarantees the accused a right to know the charges against him. The Sixth Amendment has several court cases associated with it, including Powell v. Alabama, United States v. Wong Kim Ark, Gideon v. Wainwright, and Crawford v. Washington. In 1966, the Supreme Court ruled that the fifth amendment prohibition on forced self incrimination and the sixth amendment clause on right to counsel were to be made known to all persons placed under arrest, and these clauses have become known as the Miranda rights.
• Seventh Amendment: assures trial by jury in civil cases involving anything valued at more than 20 United States dollars at the time, which is currently worth $300, when accounting for inflation.
• Eighth Amendment: forbids excessive bail or fines, and cruel and unusual punishment.
• Ninth Amendment: declares that the listing of individual rights in the Constitution and Bill of Rights is not meant to be comprehensive; and that the people have other rights not specifically mentioned, but rather retained elsewhere by the people.
• Tenth Amendment: provides that powers that the Constitution does not delegate to the United States and does not prohibit the states from exercising, are "reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
• Eleventh Amendment (1795): Clarifies judicial power over foreign nationals, and limits ability of citizens to sue states in federal courts and under federal law.
• Twelfth Amendment (1804): Changes the method of presidential elections so that members of the electoral college cast separate ballots for president and vice president.
• Thirteenth Amendment (1865): Abolishes slavery and grants Congress power to enforce abolition.
• Fourteenth Amendment (1868): Defines United States citizenship; prohibits states from abridging citizens' privileges or immunities and rights to due process and the equal protection of the law; repeals the Three-fifths compromise; prohibits repudiation of the federal debt.
• Fifteenth Amendment (1870): Prohibits the federal government and the states from using a citizen's race, color, or previous status as a slave as a qualification for voting.
• Sixteenth Amendment (1913): Authorizes unapportioned federal taxes on income.
• Seventeenth Amendment (1913): Establishes direct election of senators.
• Eighteenth Amendment (1919): Prohibited the manufacturing, importing, and exporting of alcoholic beverages. (see prohibition) Repealed by the Twenty-First Amendment.
• Nineteenth Amendment (1920): Prohibits the federal government and the states from using a citizen's **** as a qualification for voting.
• Twentieth Amendment (1933): Changes details of Congressional and presidential terms and of presidential succession.
• Twenty-first Amendment (1933): Repeals Eighteenth Amendment. Permits states to prohibit the importation of alcoholic beverages.
• Twenty-second Amendment (1951): Limits president to two terms.
• Twenty-third Amendment (1961): Grants presidential electors to the District of Columbia.
• Twenty-fourth Amendment (1964): Prohibits the federal government and the states from requiring the payment of a tax as a qualification for voting for federal officials.
• Twenty-fifth Amendment (1967): Changes details of presidential succession, provides for temporary removal of president, and provides for replacement of the vice president.
• Twenty-sixth Amendment (1971): Prohibits the federal government and the states from forbidding any citizen of age 18 or greater to vote simply because of their age.
• Twenty-seventh Amendment (1992): Limits congressional pay raises.

That's some snoozer stuff right there.  I think we should repeal the lot of them and give the kids more time at recess.

The 22nd is among my current favorites, though at this point probably completely unnecessary.

The 25th sounds like a winner too.

Is there one about a chicken in every glovebox?

I could support that. 

I'm warnin' you right now not to talk smack about the "amendments", you may get one of these... :nono:

Stalker.  I should throw you in the harbor.

I don't know.  Throw some molecular biology and organic chem in there and I'd ... well, I'd definitely need some fluid replenishment.
