In closing I will ay this:
You can not literally interpret the Constitution. It was not intended to be interpreted literally. It is as much a rule book as it is guidelines to govern by.
You still have not told me why you feel it is better for a convicted felon to be killed or imprisoned for life for using a firearm rather than take away that right for a convicted felon to own one. We are talking convicted felons here. Not your every day Joe Schmoe. I am not talking about the rights of the law abiding citizen to own a firearm.
Do you feel that way about the 2nd Amendment, 4th Amendment, 5th, 6th, 7th, or maybe you think the 8th is "just a guideline"?
I say it is you should be able to torture people screw the 8th amendment
