The Second Amendment: A Different View

December 2023
1min read

Your Constitution feature was fine. One time I can agree 100 percent with Jimmy Carter, even. I feel the Constitution is twenty-five to fifty years ahead of the average American politician and maybe 150 ahead of Herbert Mitgang. I doubt he knows that our Bill of Rights contains a lot of things that would be treason or heresy in large areas of the world. I also wonder if taking out the Second Amendment, as he wishes, would leave the less controversial parts open to assault by people who are after Today’s Relevancy and unaware of Tomorrow’s Needs.

We hope you enjoy our work.
