You’d think by now the people who want to control guns would have figured out these talking points about when the Constitution was written are about as effective as a pair of teets on a bull, and yet here we are. Forget that the Constitution is timeless, the very concept of this talking point technically negates the First Amendment which makes it look even stupider …
Such a tired and overplayed debate point:
When the 2nd Amendment was written, it took 30+ seconds to load a single bullet. #GunControlNow

And really really really need to wait before making statements after any sort of shooting, especially now that we know the name of the gunman.

When the 1st Amendment was written, the only way for you to transmit this was by horse and rider. #SpeechControlNow!

When the 1st Amendment was written, Twitter didn't exist. #SpeechControlNow

Please, let’s not give them any ideas.
When the first Amendment was written, you could still be jailed for printing articles that were considered seditious.
