The US Constitution Should Be Revised
They should rewrite the US constitution. It should keep most of the main laws and ideas, revises others, and add some new ideas and laws. Times change and the US would be a much better place if they would make a few changes.

 Exactly what I was thinking. Not so much the name calling, but the general idea.

REVISED....I'm not sure, but REVIEW.....Yes probably. The original document is over 200 years old.

I'm an English citizen and do not profess to know much about the US Constitution, but surely The Right To Bear Arms should be reviewed. Something needs to be done to turn the tide on the massacres in schools and elsewhere.

I agree. SInce times have changed, the Constitution should change too.

 The writers of the Constitution knew times would change. The 'living constitution' is a ridiculous way of manipulating the constitution to say what you want it to say. First of all, our founding fathers were never big enough liberals to intend for the meaning of the Constitution to change with what was politically correct; also, if it changes, there's really no point in having one.

Not a chance.

The United States Constitution is a SACRED document: As is.

Perfect. As is.

Don't rewrite it, add amendments! That's what we were supposed to do!

A "constitution" is something you abide by fortuitously. New laws are created to abide by, and truly, also to circumvent the constitution.
The US constitution has stood the test of time as a good system and truly deserves an update. There are too many laws set in place that circumvent it too wildly caught up in legal sidebars that are held in higher standing than the constitution itself. But moreover the world is simply a different place. Quite honestly i believe gun control and freedom of speech just need to be locked in a room together and discuss their differences. Millions of fetuses are waiting their decision hopefully they can figure something out.
