QOTD - Senatorial

This from Joe Manchin, the D half of the Manchin-Toomey universal background check bill:

The Second Amendment is [in] the Constitution – it can only be changed by the legislative branch of government.”
 In all fairness the legislature can initiate changes to the constitution, but they have to be ratified by the people of 2/3 of the states within some reasonable length of time. Unless the Congress decides to allow the process to go into overtime.

H/T: View from North Central Idaho , This Ain’t Hell and Daniel Greenfield

Of course we don't actually have to change the constitution, it can simply  be ignored.
