serving justice Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Your new 2nd Amendment right reads:The Second Amendment gives citizens the right to bear arms. Notice the word Gives... Also the 3rd & 4th Amendment have also been re written - Go to Whitehouse.gov , pull up Constitution and it's right there Link to comment
Riverboat Red, SASS #71733 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Email sent informing them of the "mistake". To be clear, they didn't change how it was written. The mistake is in their brief explanation of the amendment. RR Link to comment

Subdeacon Joe Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Interesting: The First Amendment provides... The Second Amendment gives .... The Third Amendment prohibits ... The Fourth Amendment protects... The Fifth Amendment provides ... The Sixth Amendment assures... The Seventh Amendment provides ... The Eighth Amendment prohibits ... The Ninth Amendment states that the list of rights enumerated in the Constitution is not exhaustive, and that the people retain all rights not enumerated. The Tenth Amendment assigns all powers not delegated to the United States, or prohibited to the states, to either the states or to the people. "Gives." Not Provides, Protects, Assures, but gives. Odd that the 2nd is seen as the federal government giving something to the people rather than protecting a civil right. That is part of the narrative I've been trying to change in any discussion - even with pro-2nd people. The 2nd doesn't "GIVE" us the rights, it PROTECTS the rights. Link to comment
