How come we have a Constitutional amendment guaranteeing us guns
...but not amendments guaranteeing healthcare or education? Yes, a safe society is important. But is not an educated and healthy society equally as important?

A right to keep our own weapons isn't a handout for free shit.

Well considering the document is used to limit and prevent government overreach, I would say it's by its nature to [b]not[/b] have a clause guaranteeing that.

The constitution is supposed to protect the citizens of United States from the government. The constitution should never give any power to the government. That is why it starts with "We The People."

8 RespuestasDoesn't guarantee you a gun, it guarantees you the right to purchase a gun.... You seem to be asking for FREE guaranteed Healthcare and education, that's completely different than the right to PURCHASE Healthcare and education, which Americans have always had.

5 RespuestasPeople abuse the 2nd amendment. It never once guaranteed every redneck an arsenal of weapons, it gave power to the states militias.

Easy answer. It costs taxpayer money. To grant a right that is contingent on the money of the people means, that in a worse case scenario, in order to grant the right of education and health, taxes would [i]have[/i] to be hiked tremendously. Should our government, which we all know is terrific with money, mismanage the funds appropriated for schooling and medical treatment, they would [i][u]have to[/u][/i] take large amounts of taxpayer dollars to grant people that right, because after all, it's their right to it. Do that and people that actually contribute to taxes may be a little pissy about the hike helping non-contributors. Taxes were a big reason the Revolutionary War started, after all. You can't just grant people the [i][u]guaranteed[/u][/i] right to something that relies on the not always guaranteed money of the people.

Because health care was [b][u]completely[/u][/b] different back then. I'm sure they never foresaw hospitals and highly expensive operations.. Like chemotherapy and organ transplants

2 RespuestasWere you even trying on this one? The 2nd amendment doesn't guarantee guns, it guarantees the right to be able to own one. Shielding a citizens right to voluntarily purchase an item from a voluntary merchant of the item is very much not guaranteeing guns.
-
5 RespuestasWhere does it "guarantee" us guns? It says we can have guns, not that we will always have access to them.
-
Editado por Urban Shade: 12/3/2015 8:13:26 AMWait, re-read. I believe this hasn't happened yet because there is no real big movement for this change. If people really wanted it, it would happen. But not many people care too much.

7 RespuestasIt gives us the right to own guns. It doesn't give us guns. It's not like they give you a gun. Education is given to us. It's not a choice. You have to go to school. If you don't, then you're in legal trouble. Healthcare is optional.

8 RespuestasWe are guaranteed the right to bear arms because the founders believed we had a duty to defend our country and, if you read the Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights, the right to defend ourselves. The purpose was to keep a government from disarming it's citizens and forcing them against their will...making them slaves. (See Holocaust for an example of what they were trying to prevent) Guaranteeing someone an education or healthcare requires the life of someone else. If you make it a requirement that one person MUST teach or treat another you are infringing upon the Rights of other's life and liberty. Yes, doctors take an oath to do no harm, but they do that by choice not because the Bill of Rights says they have to.
