Second Amendment

I just saw an article stating that Michael Moore has suggested that the Second Amendment to our Constitution be repealed and replaced by the 28th Amendment which would severely restrict the ability to buy and own guns while prioritizing public safety from gun violence.

While we are in the process of repealing the Second Amendment, maybe we should look at some of the other amendments and repeal them, or change them.

Let's start with the First Amendment and make it illegal to criticize or make fun of the president.  We should also make it illegal to burn our flag or gather to protest perceived offenses by the government.

We could also change the Fourth Amendment and make it legal to search or seize a person's property without a duly authorized warrant.

How about changing the Fifth Amendment that would allow a person to be tried for the same crime if the prosecution does not agree with the finding of a properly selected jury.

You can see how these amendments could be changed to adapt to the mood of certain segments of our population.  The original Bill of Rights was added to our constitution after much deliberation by the Founding Fathers to ensure that we would continue to be governed by rational thought and not the emotion of the moment or whims of any president or congress or political party..
