Oh, there’s no doubt about that, but it’s what we have to live with.

Jefferson advocated for throwing everything out and starting over every 19 years, that would have been interesting.

“Every constitution, then, and every law, naturally expires at the end of 19 years. If it be enforced longer, it is an act of force and not of right.”

So, two years before the Bill of Rights. If Jefferson had his way, the 2nd Amendment (and everything else) would have expired in 1810 and would have had to be renewed then and another 11 times since then.

But Jefferson didn’t get his way and here we are!
