The Constitution was written the way it was written and is not open for interpretation period end of story.
Every gun control law ever written is unconstitutional and should be looked at and voted upon by the American people in my belief.
I'm not saying the crazy guy on the corner talking to a lamppost or the guy in a house next door should have a firearm that's why I said every law should be looked at because by definition every one of them is unconstitutional in itself.

In God we trust and under God came much later than when the Constitution was written. I was in the classroom when under God was introduced into the pledge. I don't recall any ammendment activity concerning the motto, only a court case testing the Constitutional compliance of these terms.

The Bill of Rights came after the Constitution was written, too. As for the Pledge, the only time that it was ruled on by the merits, it was declared unconstitutional. The only way that it stayed in was that SCOTUS decided that the plaintiff did not have standing to sue on his daughters behalf after a divorce.
There's not a SCOTUS case on point for "in god we trust".

Are you claiming that Congress didn't know what it was doing when they drafted both the First and Second Amendments?
You see, to be the way you want it, they would have had to have written the Second Amendment using the language of the First Amendment. The operative language of the First Amendment is that "Congress shall make no law" and then lists the rights of religion, speech, the press, etc. On the other hand, the operative language of the Second Amendment is that the right to keep and bear arms "shall not be infringed."
If you are going to claim that all gun control laws are null and void, then you would also have to claim that the "under God" in the pledge is wrong, that the "in God we trust" as a national motto is void, and so on.
Is that what you are saying? Or are you just picking which parts of the Bill of Rights what you like?
You're correct that many gun control laws are unconstitutional. You're wrong that all gun laws are void.

Hello Mr. Greg hope this will be one of our Civil Debates because I love those and I believe I can school you on this since I have a little done some studies on the Constitution.
One thing you and many other people who have the same argument do you change one word in the 1st Amendment so it will fit your Agenda, it's Freedom OF Religion not FROM and that changes the hole thing.
If you want to spend a few moments with a dictionary or Google I will wait because this kills your argument dead Sir.

I will point out that the Supreme Court disagrees with Randy, and the "freedom of" religion also encompasses the right to be free from religion.
