"If first amendment fails, see second amendment"

A while ago I discussed the possible reinterpretation of the American Constitution if the first amendment of the Bill of Rights failed. As the title of this post indicates, being a citation from an article by Patrik Jonsson at the Christian Science Monitor, there is an other way. At least in the United States. I have some experience that it might not be possible in the EU.

Here is the text of the first and the second amendments, respectively:

1. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

2. A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Apparently people buy guns as never before in the US after President Obama got elected. A president that swore the oath on Lincolns Bible. Perhaps a symbolic gesture to indicate the possibility of a civil war situation. Please excuse the drama but it is interesting if you consider my latest post: Pillar of a New Foundation, where I suggest, from experience, that Sweden is ruled by Human Destruction Inc.

I can't go to the government with my grievances, I tried both the police and the procecutors office, and therefore Amendment I, which exists in the Swedish constitution as well, has failed.

The cited article points out that there is a polarization of the American society right now and that the NRA, National Rifle Association, serves as a base for discontent against the liberal administration and democratic Congress. Has tyranny reappeared? People are reacting to possible legislation that would weaken or remove the second amendment. They are ready to fight. The NRA meeting with 47,000 visitors featured speakers John McCain the former presidential candidate, Mitt Romney a presidential hopeful and GOP Chairman Michael Steele.

For the Swedes it must be interesting to find out what it is that scares people in the US and what the differences might be between the organization of people in the US and the EU. Are both the Republicans and the Democrats fighting Human Destruction Inc. or has it sided with one of the parties?

What is the future of Europe if there isn't a second amendment that can be invoked? A New Dark Age?
