It’s interesting that those wanting to change the 14th amendment to the U.S. Constitution about citizenship of children born in the U.S . use the argument that times are much different now than when the amendment was enacted. They say the Supreme Court should review it in the context of today’s world and change the interpretation to reflect those changes.
Odd that the same argument seems not to occur to them regarding the 2nd amendment as well. Certainly things were much different in 1791 when it was ratified. There was little or no standing army or police forces. Most states had a militia, made up mostly volunteers. And the weapons of the time are a far cry from today’s. Is it time to review the 2nd as well as the 14th?
