This. It's tempting to look at clown world now and say
if only they had worded that bit differently...
But these subversions all happened 100-200 years after they wrote it, and were the culmination of many preparatory steps. You can't design a perfect constitution but they came damn close to making as distant from any misinterpretation as humanly possible. For example, (((they))) love to rehash the militia meme, but if 2A didn't mention militias, they would come up with something else equally retarded, like "bearing arms means fighting with your bare hands in a duel". Remember, saying that only militias should have guns would have been equally ridiculous when first introduced.
Even if you did "fix" it, at best you would just delay the current situation by 50-100 years. After the Founding Fathers were dead and gone, shit happened that was 100x worse than any "mistake" they ever made in writing it. If a new country was created tomorrow and said they are using the Constitution and Bill of Rights as of 1791, it would already be pretty good. Just don't have a civil war over slaves this time.
The civil war had nothing to do with slavery
