And Trump was no exception to it. Remember he had the ATF redefine what a "machine gun" was to include plastic stocks. He also instructed his alphabet organizations to "take the guns first. then worry about due process later." He encouraged states to pass red flag laws, knowing that they will be abused and guns would be taken away from people who did nothing wrong.

The whole thing is that unless the public are willing and able to fight the government when the government violates those Constitutional rights, then the document might as well not even exist. And the judicial branch is just as bad.

But instead of pointing blame and taking on the entire system, people just get caught up in the "Democrat/Republican" blame game. Both sides of that false paradigm equally violate the people at will while their proponents look the other way. And nobody is going to do anything about it. Voting doesn't change this and will not change it.
I see your point, but a lot has changed since 1787. Can't take everything in the constitution word for word. If that were the case, then anyone could own rocket launchers and laser guns, etc. Nobody predicted mass shootings in 1787 because their muskets took 20 seconds to reload for one shot. We have amendments, of course, which show that nothing is written in stone (for good or for bad).
