Good versus bad is in the eye of the beholder, but recent Republican attacks on the Constitution differ fundamentally from Democratic efforts to control guns. On gun control, the Democrats say that the 2nd Amendment permits regulation. If they go too far, there is a politically conservative judiciary these days that will be happy to enforce the 2nd Amendment. That disagreement is over what the Constitution says. The Republicans, on the other hand, say the Constitution is flawed and that they know how to fix it.
