A lefty law professor proposes rewriting the 1A and 2A. Here is the proposal for the First:

Every person has the right to freedom of expression, association, peaceful assembly, and petition of the government for redress of grievances, consistent with the rights of others to the same and subject to responsibility for abuses. All conflicts of such rights shall be resolved in accordance with the principle of equality and dignity of all persons.

Of course the escape clause embedded in the above makes the entire thing meaningless. Now look at the proposed 2A:

All people have the right to bodily autonomy consistent with the right of other people to the same, including the right to defend themselves against unlawful force and the right of self-determination in reproductive matters. The government shall take reasonable measures to protect the health and safety of the public as a whole.

Note that this Amendment is now not about Arms, but about abortion. It’s poorly written, though. I could make a case that a fetus is a person, and has the right to defend itself. That would also mean that others could defend that fetus. Could a person then use force against an imminent abortion?

It’s all academic, of course. I don’t think you’ll get the requisite 3/4 of state legislatures to ratify it.

And, of course, why use one word when ten will do?

I’ve long thought that if a law cannot be readily comprehended by an average citizen, it should not be enforceable. Granted I came to that opinion when educational standards were higher than today, but still.

In this case, I suspect they’re long-winded simply to obfuscate.

What we really need is a zeroth amendment:

All persons within the physical borders of the nation, whether citizen, or alien legally or illegally present – irrespective of reason – shall be subject to immediate summary execution as the penalty for the verifiable espousal of any leftist political position, either verbally, or in written or typed word. Specifically subject to summary execution are:

I. Any advocacy or effort towards the drafting and/or enacting of legislation or executive order that will redistribute a citizen’s productivity, wealth and property of any type, to others by government or corporate interest, under threat of violence and/or imprisonment from same. Further, to specifically to include, but not limited to: an income tax of any kind, or a property tax of any kind.

II. Any advocacy or effort towards the drafting and/or enacting of legislation or executive order that will seek to confiscate or otherwise remove any weapon, to include firearns of any type, caliber, configuration and capacity from a citizen by force, or to penalize – especially by imposition of a tax – a citizen for the possesion of any such weapon owned by said citizen. Any citizen or alien flound possessing a weapon verifiably stolen from another citizen shall be subject to summary execution, preferably by the individual whose weapon was stolen, and using the weapon that was stolen.

III. Any advocacy or effort towards the drafting and/or enacting of legislation or executive order that will impose a compulsory medical procedure, specifcally including but not limited to, the injection of any serum, vaccine, or genetic treatment. Any citizen or alien attempting to carry out such a treatment on another by force, or threat thereof, will be subject to immediate summary execution, preferably at the hand the intented victim.

IV. No portion of the above shall be subject to challenge, review, or modification by legislation, executive order, or judicial fiat. This is not in any way a living document subject to any re-interpretation or invalidation by lawyers too clever by half. Yes, we really do mean that we fully intend to kill all leftist pieces of shit, clear to the point of extinction, so that they can never again ruin society for right thinking individuals. In closing, all Karens, snowflakes and social justice warriors, irrespective of any newly adopted preferred perjoriatives of the day that may come to popular use after the drafting of this document, shall fuck right off and self-immolate for the benefit of maintaining a functional civilzation.

I’d say thats a good start.
