What a shame you have a reading comprehension of someone in the seventh grade.
PS: The majority of Americans- in this, America, a democracy- are tried of the tiny-dicked minorities demanding special rights. We have a right to be safe from idiots like yourself who insist you need assault weapons to go hunting.

We are a Republic with democratic processes… When you reach the 6thgrade you should learn this, if you’re in public school, maybe not.
The Bill of Rights is clear, and if you would like to impose an amendment, be my guest, but I would wager you haven’t a clue where to start…

DEMOCRACY, by the way.

The Second Amendment of the US Constitution. Americans are GAURUNTEED the right to bare arms.

There is NOTHING you can do to change that with an Amendment to the Constitution. You haven’t a chance.

STFU.

You don't know what you are talking about.

Cuba has 'democratic processes' and so did the USSR.

The USA is a democratic federal constitutional republic, I don't need your uninformed, high school drop out opinion, especially since it seems you lack the ability to move any further in your education.

Get your GED and get back to me.

The first question will be: Is the USA a democracy?

You don't even know that the USA is a democracy.

I don't expect you know what the Bill of Rights is.

Impose?

So you got no further in English than you did in civics.

You are a waste of time.

We are NOT a democracy because the Founding Fathers didn't like democracies and stated that quite clearly. They called a democracy a mobocracy.

"Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security, or the rights of property; and have, in general, been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths."
James Madison

"Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide."
John Adams

"A democracy is a volcano which conceals the fiery materials of its own destruction. These will produce an eruption and carry desolation in their way. The known propensity of a democracy is to licentiousness which the ambitious call, and ignorant believe to be liberty."
Fisher Ames, Author of the House Language for the First Amendment

"We have seen the tumult of democracy terminate,as [it has] everywhere terminated, in despotism. Democracy! savage and wild. Thou who wouldst bring down the virtuous and wise to thy level of folly and guilt.
Gouverneur Morris, Signer and Penman of the US Constitution

"The experience of all former ages had shown that of all human governments, democracy was the most unstable, fluctuating and short-lived."
John Quincy Adams

"A simple democracy is one of the greatest of evils."
Benjamin Rush, Signer of the Declaration

"In democracy there are commonly tumults and disorders.... Therefore a pure democracy is generally a very bad government. It is often the most tyrannical government on earth."
Noah Webster

"Pure democracy cannot subsist long nor be carried far into the departments of state, it is very subject to caprice and the madness of popular rage."
John Witherspoon, Signer of the Declaration of Independence

"It may generally be remarked that the more a government resembles a pure democracy the more they abound with disorder and confusion."
Zephaniah Swift, Author of America's First Legal Text

Democracy, donglicker.

Wipe you chin.

If only you had spent time in history class instead of relieving the sexual frustration of high school jocks in bath room stalls, you might have learned something above governments.

If you had stayed in school, Donglicker- well, if you attended CLASS during school instead of bathrooms- you would know that there is a difference between a direct democracy and an indirect democracy (such as the federal republic democracy we have in the US).

Thanks for the quotes from all those slave owners, though.

Shows you can copy and paste.

The leaders of India can know that nations around the world support them in the face of this assault on human dignity. And as the people of the world's largest democracy recover from these attacks, they can count on the world's oldest democracy to stand by their side.

Sorry dipsh!t, we are not a democracy. I thought with your brand new rainbow GED you would know that .We pledge allegiance to a republic, not a democracy.

I see your knowledge of history sucks almost as much as you do.
Noah Webster, Fisher Ames , John Adams, John Quincy Adams , Governeur Morris, Benjamin Rush and Zephaniah Swift were NOT slave owners, only James Madison was.

You are so pale. Are you sure you aren't dead and just too stupid to lie down? If so it would explain your ongoing and never ending stupidity.

"Democracy will soon degenerate into an anarchy; such an anarchy that every man will do what is right in his own eyes and no man's life or property or reputation or liberty will be secure, and every one of these will soon mould itself into a system of subordination of all the moral virtues and intellectual abilities, all the powers of wealth, beauty, wit, and science, to the wanton pleasures, the capricious will, and the execrable [abominable] cruelty of one or a very few."

But we cannot legally interfere with the South on this subject." ... "To come north to preach and thus disturb our peace, when we can legally do nothing to effect this object, is, in my view, highly criminal and the preachers of abolitionism deserve the penitentiary."

You said he was a slave holder . He was not a slave holder so it was not his sin.

I did not say he was a slave holder.

Follow the thread, donglicker. I said you were fond of quoting founding fathers- most of whom were slave holders.

Webster was not a slave holder himself, but- if you can read- you can see he suggested putting other abolitionists in jail for coming from the south and sharing the opinion that slavery should be abolished.

Now what the slave owners has to do with the topic of this sentence is anyone's guess, are you going to come back to it someday?
