For example, as one poster already mentioned, the Patriot Act in response to 9/11.

so you think that armed teachers is a rational reaction? how about armored desks, and military training for all teaching staff?
how about brain scans for the whole population? does that sound like reasoned rational discussion? whats more reasoned and rational, evading the 2nd amendment issues at all and finding new ways to bring more weapons in as a threadbare sense of security, or actually discussing the differences between then and now, and how amendments can easily stand to be altered to reflect a much bigger country with different problems these days?
Totally agree on the patriot act.
