You know, and Ill admit it, I've never read the entire Constitution. Now's maybe a good time. I should request a copy as well. It would be a good read what the Founding Fathers envisioned.

and my adult son promptly grabbed it and started reading it. There's other stuff in there but I'm not sure since he wouldn't let me have it. I never knew he cared.

It is becoming a big thing to know what it says, for all ages.
They here all this junk from the right and hear the corrections from the left, the want to see it in black and white for themselves.

I put the request in during the DNC convention. I got lucky to get mine so fast or at all with all the requests they have had.

9. In theirs, the 2nd Amendment reads:
Wed Oct 26, 2016, 02:20 AM
Oct 2016

"An armed populace, being required above all else, the right of the people to keep and bear guns and ammunition, shall never be regulated and takes precedence over all other rights outlined in the rest of this Constitution."

As opposed to ours, which reads: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

We didn't have access to it. The question was what does the 2 Amendment say:

I thought that it said, "A well regulated Militia to prevent tyranny"...

I had been brain-washed by right wing talking points.

And includes other information.

But, yeah, today, having a link on a smart phone might be easier to access.
