Forum Post: Lets Rewrite The Constitution

This content is user submitted and not an official statement

It's an outdated, racist, uncompassionate, unfair document that we need to demand be rewritten. Help me brothers and sisters rewrite the amendments for more equality and fairness for all.

Feel free to add additional amendments or edit current ones.

I'll start:

2nd Amendment: No citizen should be able to keep and bear arms. Guns breed fear and hate. Only those appointed by the state shall be able to keep and bear arms.

28 Amendment (new): The pursuit of happiness has been ratified and change to "guarantee of happiness." The state shall redistribute wealth accordingly so that the people are equal.

Thoughts/ideas/suggestions?

If people would go with the original goals of this movement it'd actually go somewhere...if we go by the overall attitude of most people on this forum then: 29 Amendment: The United States of America shall from this moment exist as a Socialist Republic and any who oppose this shall be immaturely called trolls and spammers. Freaking brilliant.

WOW You win. Stupidest post of the day. Read what you dislike. We have a right to own guns to overthrow an obsessive tyranical government. Gun ownership is for our defense against an unjust government and you want that right to be taken away?

I agree with the right to own guns but the argument that it is a defense against an unjust government is just silly. How are we going to defend ourselves against a government with tanks, aircraft and high tech weapons? Not to mention the huge financial resources it has?

No, the hand out crowd is real. They believe they deserve money just because they breath, and if they can strip you of guns if you own them they can take what ever else they want because the breath.

Work for money but changing the laws would level the playing field

The only problem with the constitution is that the 1% have been paying politicians to ignore it for over 80 years.

[Removed]

"We could all then propose nonsensical, illogical, and conflicting ideas for a new constitution we know is not really coming, and up vote them and down vote them to see which is more popular and to kill time."

Sounds familiar to something, I just can't put my finger on it

Stupid Idea! A new ammendment sure - but its not the constitution that is broken its Money in Politics the Wall Street has used to build a Corporate Neo-Feudalist State in this country.

This is not a movement about removing the individual rights of anyone to suit the wants of one particular group.

Ther is nothing wrong with the constitution.

We need To FIX THE LAWS and REGULATIONS !

I do not want hand outs and I want to work. Redistribution is Hand outs. This is about fairness and leveling the playing field.

Redistribution devalues the currency. It would change monetary policy and we would still be in the same position but with no incentive to work.

Guns Do not Breed Hate. People Breed Hate. Guns do not Kill People, People Kill People.
