Don't get me wrong, I think the absence of gun control in our country is crazy. But I attribute a lot less to the Constitution than you do. It is a place where we hand our arguments but not, in my view, really all that consequential. So I am not sure it is "leading" to anything, although we lawyers like to act as if it does great things. Just my opinion.
How about the quartering of troops in private residences?
I’d happily repeal that too! But its being on the books isn’t leading to any loss of life.
