The Second Amendment - Right to bear arms, was an amendment made to the original English common law, and originally codified in the English Bill of Rights, originally restricted to a public allowance under due restrictions, and the use of Well Organized Militias for the natural right of self-preservation and resistance, when the sanctions of society and law are found insufficient to restrain the violence of oppression. (This is the original English Common Law version)

But that is not true with the American Bill of Rights. Which is what we are talking about...

The problem with that is, it is open for interpretation.
But that is not true with the American Bill of Rights. Which is what we are talking about... I was only going with that the 2nd amendment isn't up for interpretation/limitation, as it says so in it, unlike the other 9.

Actually, we were talking about whether it has gone through any amendments since it's inception - which it was codified from the original English Bill of Rights, and considered to be the interpretation of a "pre-existing right", dating to the 1689 English Bill of Rights, in 2008.

Problem is, her version of the 2nd Amendment only had the first half of it.

I don't give a rats *** about English common law. The 14th Amendment comes to mind immediately.
Also, since the Second Amendment was based partially from the English Bill of Rights, it can back up the "pre-existing right" argument.

How can that be so? Fathers send their wives and children thousands of miles across the world in hopes for my signature of acceptence to my home.
The Iraq war, people who hated Bush, the country is begging me to give order to come back with guns.
Wall street dow jones was not even 9000 during the great recession, yet clised over 17000. So the money mongers love me.
The poor love me, I given them free phones. Oh and many have the right to attend our universities or open businesses here. So they love me.
The sick and poor I gave obama care, so they bow gracefully to me.
I pay the army even when goverment shutdowns, oh and gave 52 week unemployment ftom 18 weeks. So the jobless love me.
I done all of these plus much more. More than any one person or group could do. No please praise me, as I am confident I have done something to help improve your lufe.

That in no way changed the bill of rights, but I guess your definition of what that means is different, so I'll drop it.
On another note: stop bringing up English common law, nobody cares.

As a general rule, it's always better to hate your leader than love them. Hitler's Approval ratings were somewhere in the 90%'s up until the Colonel Lemay's terror bombing doctrine was introduced to Europe. (And even then, I don't think it dropped too much)
Also, on the flip side of things, people are fickle. EA is consistently voted worst company in America. That Bank of America didn't even make it to semi-finals shows how stupid polls are.

Bank of America's customer service isn't that bad, not as bad as some credit unions and small banks here in Texas.

Comcast won a recent "worst company in America" title. I still think Zynga should have been in the running.

It definitely seems like the public face is what's considered most in those sort of things. Which I guess is actually fitting in the context of the OP, since I doubt many people know just how bad the president(s) really is(are) as government has the transparency of... Actually I can't think of an analogy that exceeds the lack of transparency in the government.

Is Zynga even still relevant? I haven't heard anything from them in a while. Figure they just milk their human batteries matrix style with Farmville and its reskins.

Zynga is losing relevance, but it kinda set a standard of sleazy business practices in gaming. For that, it should be forever shamed. Or at least that's how I see it.

I am not even gonna front like the president is this powerful entity; how about this, all branches are performing quite pathetic in this modern era. Just my 2 cents.
However, several ppl mentioned bias polls, and since we are in the XI forums, it only seems fitting. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/1697-What-new-Jug-Pets-would-you-like-to-see-91-99?p=213879&viewfull=1#post213879.

U.S. poll: more voters see Obama as worst president in modern times
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two years into President Barack Obama's second term, more voters say they are dissatisfied with his administration's handling of everything from the economy to foreign policy, giving him the worst marks of any modern U.S. president, a poll on Wednesday said.
In a survey of 1,446 registered voters, 33 percent said Obama was the worst president since World War Two, while 28 percent pointed to his predecessor, George W. Bush, as the worst, the poll by Quinnipiac University found.
Voters were split over which of the two most recent presidents has done a better job with 39 percent saying Obama has been a better president than Bush and, 40 percent saying Obama is worse.
Most voters said Ronald Reagan, who served two terms in the 1980s, was the best president since 1945, the survey showed.
"Over the span of 69 years of American history and 12 presidencies, President Barack Obama finds himself with President George W. Bush at the bottom of the popularity barrel," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of Quinnipiac University's polling unit.
While Obama's job approval rating has inched higher to 40 percent, up from 38 percent in December, more voters gave him largely negative marks in key areas: the economy, foreign policy, healthcare and terrorism, according to the poll.
On the environment, 50 percent gave Obama positive marks.
The telephone survey, taken June 24 to June 30, had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.6 percentage points.
