So some GOP'ers want to change the 14th Amendment yet the 2nd amendment is sacred?

The 2nd Amendment was to make sure people were armed with muskets to protect the country from another "foreign" invasion after the Revolutionary War. The 14th Amendment was to make sure slaves became full citizens after the Civil War. Both of these amendments were put into place for reasons that existed a century or two ago. I'm not advocating for any change just to point out that the GOP not only does not understand irony but they are totally blind to hypocrisy. Trump is a joke and if he or any other Republican becomes President, the USA will become a joke and Trump will be the punch line.
