Do you believe the Bill of Rights is outdated and should be either dropped in its entirety or at least rewritten?

You can rewrite it if you want - you can even do so with my blood, because you're going to have to spill a lot of it before you do so.

The BOR, encompassing the first ten amendments to the Constitution, was added after ratification because there were skeptics who understood that any Government, given some power, would, in time, enlarge that power. The BOR was to bind the hands of the Government to keep them from mischief as Thomas Jefferson put it. Unfortunately, while the uninformed American public was sleeping, we have experienced death by a thousand cuts.
The BOR has been attacked thousands of times until little remains of the original intent. We're told that "political correctness" overrides the first amendment. No one should own a gun--the Government has a monopoly on the use of force so goodbye 2nd amendment. Militarized police forces no longer "serve and protect", they violate the fourth and fifth amendment, etc. etc.
Including the BOR in the Constitution did not grant the individual anything, the founders simply recognized that we are endowed with certain rights by virtue of our existence as humans. Neither the Government nor anyone else can take those rights from us. Each violation is reason to strengthen our resolve to bring the violator back onto the reservation.

Leave it as it is.

There is nothing wrong with out bill of rights, the problem is politicians do not want to follow it.

It's easy to read but hard to understand without knowing true freedom.

I am one of the people raising the newest crop of voters (1 at 19 years and 1 at 17 years old) all of their life we have sat down at the dinner table together, turned off the TV and discussed topics from politics and religion to jokes and the "what did you do today". I have always told them to listen to our (conservitive) oppinions and then do your own research and make your own conclusion on what is right. On most topics my children belive the conservative values are correct with a few exceptions that I hope is just misspent youthful ideology. I can see in their friends that this has not been the way of growing up; a lot of their friends do not sit at the dinner table, much less discus important topics with family except when at our house. I can see that they have been raised by the school, social media and the entertainment industry. I fear that the current administration, the social push for political correctness, the pressure from popular youth TV shows and the disconnect in the modern family will lead us to a point where the Bill of Rights along with the entire Constitution will eventually be removed or weakened to the point it is useless and will no longer provide the guidence, hope and protection to the people.

I cannot give you a thumbs down for posting different or unpopular thoughts, in fact i'll give you a thumbs up for doing so.

I had just finished a similar conversation yesterday with a friend of mine. One my points was that many of us that have served, we served to ensure that the American people retain the rights that they have. 1-26, it is not up to us to decide which ones we support and which ones we are against. We took an oath to defend the constitution as a whole, not just one singular part of it, and not just the first 10 known as the Bill of Rights. In my honest opinion, the constitution has been walked enough by the greed of our politicians. Just some food for thought

The Bill of Rights is a document designed to protect the people from the overarching desire of all Governments (democracy in particular) to enslave its citizens. It is a bulwark against the rapacious political class. I find the endless diatribe against the 2nd amendment as prima fascia evidence for this control. Hitler's first upon assuming power, confiscate all the guns. In my view those oppose the 2nd amendment are incipient Hitler's.

If the Bill of Rights were dispensed with what is it to be replaced with and more importantly who will drive the discussion. Making a decision to end/alter the BoR in this fractious society is attempted it could easily descend into Secession and/or another war of Liberal aggression!

it should be rewrote to make it clear what they mean. The idea is great but we have to stop this tired back and forth "interpretation" of what they really meant when they wrote it.
This is our Bill of Rights there should be no room for a debate in what they are meant for

It seems that political correctness is taking over. The Bill of Rights are a written guarantee of our freedoms as a United States citizen. Doing away with them gives the government full power to act in any manner, enact any law, regardless. I feel that we are seeing a constant grab by the Federal government to control our thoughts and actions. The basic reason behind the right to bear arms is so that individual citizens may protect themselves from over reaching government... Unreasonable search and seizure, freedom of speech. How do you retract or rewrite something that makes us the greatest nation on the planet. Stand up for your rights, preserve the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
