Somehow I think that Andrew Lang would feel differently about the Constitution if his home was invaded without warrant to look for contraband and the government unlawfully seized his property. Or what if Lang didn't receive a trial by his peers if he was ever arrested. Or maybe Lang would be upset if the government prevented him from saying he thinks the mayor wears combat boots.

But he sure opposes this ancient relic of a document because of one amendment with which he disagrees - that pesky 2nd Amendment.

LAPORTE | Student Andrew Lang told gun supporters their beliefs are out of touch and he would not feel safe with firearms in a city building.

His comments drew boos from gun rights activists who packed LaPorte City Hall Monday urging their constitutional right to bear arms be preserved.

Lang said it's not the 1770s when the British were coming and, nowadays, there ought to be exceptions.

"You guys are bringing up stuff about the constitution. It's a little bit old and outdated. This is when our country was under attack from a foreign force," said Lang.

Yeah, don't let that little piece of paper get in the way of protecting someone's civil rights!

Does Lang naively believe that a crazed criminal would leave their firearm at the door, when they intend to do physical harm to someone in a city building?

Regardless, the LaPorte city council voted against such a firearms ban by a 4-3 vote.
