I love everything about that.

Omg Rick Santorum actually said that students would be better served by taking CPR classes to deal with active shooter situations. Rather than marching.

I'd say he'd be better served by learning how to remove his own head out of his ass.

The insane logic of twisting oneself into a pretzel to insane extremes. In the name of gun ownership.

It's a shame when folks like Dickhead Santorum seemed to be normalizing in the face of insanity (agent orangutan).

His "normalizing" does not extend to
guns. They must be like oxygen to him.

It's like saying give some people gasoline and matches and just teach everyone else to be firefighters.

Actually I'm surprised Orange Clown hasn't suggested CPR training. Guess he's too busy trying to distract from Stormy and Karen.

Well that’s at least one teenager who likes U2!

[MrsSpringsteen]

They really don't like her, for several reasons. She's a "nasty woman", I suppose. The shaved head, the outspokenness.

Oh and she has a Cuban flag on her jacket. Her father came here from Cuba. Maybe we could have her deported.

She should be more like our forefathers, who would never rebel against the status quo!

I love how every conservative worships the Constitution and says it never needs to be changed, completely ignoring the fact that many Founders wanted the Constitution to be changed every few decades or so and put a mechanism in the Constitution to allow that change.

Can we talk about that generic twitter user? "Linda NRA Supporter" and the username is @Linda + a long dynamically generated string.

How fucking stupid are people?

You are correct. There is a process to amend the constitution. 2/3 of the States or congress to propose, and 3/4 of States to ratify. Simple. I don't know of any conservative who is hostile to this process. Personally, I see conservatives much more open to the process, whereas the left is more comfortable with the idea of judicial activism.

If folks on the left successfully amended the 2nd amendment, conservatives would be hostile to the process.

They do not like change. Conserve. Ative. No new people. No new culture. No new laws. No New marriages. They'll fight to conserve what they have (or had).

Of course conservatives would be hostile with an amendment to re-write or abolish the 2nd Amendment. To remove one of the original Bill of Rights would be a heated debate to say the least.

I think conservatives pretty much want to leave the Constitution alone. To the extent Conservatives are comfortable with the amendment process, I think it's because it's so incredibly difficult (as close to impossible as it comes in politics) to do.

Changing the gun laws via the legislative and political process, as incredibly difficult as it is, is still much, much more doable than amending the Constitution. It was trying to change the politics ("vote them out!") that those 200,000 people in DC were trying to do on Saturday.

My point to you was that you're suggesting the right isn't hostile to the process of constitutional amendment, and that the left isn't hostile to judicial activism.

These points are circumstantial to the current state of politics, and likely topics within each of them. Both sides would be hostile if the topics changed.
