People argue against having a constitution to avoid the problems the US has. 2nd amendment right are a blight in the US as can be seen by the figures on gun violence. 1st amendment rights for freedom of speech allows divisive racial abuse and sundown towns. All of these would be considered abhorrent in the UK. And yet the US seems locked into them.
My opinion is that the UK should have a constitution. But it should be reviewed regularly and all MPs should be compelled to vote. The problem with the US is amending the constitution is impossible when you have capitalism making a profit from it being there. The NRA has bought the US constitution for many years now. I would dearly love to see all donations to political parties banned in the UK. No one should be allowed to buy legislation.
Jesus y’all have been so propagandized that you think the right to defend yourself from government overreach is a bad thing. You should do some more research.
You’re defending the fact that every right can be stripped away from you because I have rights that are difficult to strip. The second amendment is exactly why, while having more and deeper committed fascists, AND starting earlier, we are not as far along as y’all.
I have obviously hit a nerve, but I still non the wiser as to why. It seems you want to defend the gun laws, I think. Well have at it. I don't have a say on US laws, and wouldn't dream of trying to have one. That doesn't mean I cannot learn from them to form an opinion on our own laws.
it'll get worse as y'all's "constitution" is fully revocable with a simple majority. at least, to my understanding.
