I have an inalienable right to not be shot in public. So do my kids. The right to live should be paramount, far and above any excuses one might make about billionaires controlling all the guns.

Maybe we should enshrine that right in the Constitution as the Zeroth Amendment, because it is seriously being trampled as of late.

Unfortunately the constitution has never been the reason or means for protecting our rights. It is only an after the fact acknowledgement of them. It doesn't secure them, we do.

Indeed. Liberia had almost the same constitution.

Give a different or changing culture the same constitution, they can turn things into/remain a shithole very quickly.
