  • The Constitution is a definer of rights, not a limiter of rights. The 18th ammendment limited rights and was repealed. So I feel that the an ammendment removing my right to have a gun would never be suggested and made law.
  • the first 10 items were articles, not amendments, not that that distinction matters. i don't see why it couldn't happen. what about it would you change?
  • You would seek to turn over the bill of rights which was to be in the constitution but set aside later so as to be amendments. What do you know of US History?
  • "They can have my gun when they pry it from my cold dead fingers."
  • The 18th amendment was repealed and it was also the only amendment to directly limit the rights of the people. I would be extremely upset if the 2nd (or 1st or 5th etc) amendment was ever "repealed" in any way. Dealing particularly with the 2nd Amendment, I view it as a sortof safeguard or "reset button" for the other amendments as a protection against tyrannical government as well as foreign invaders. Most people don't like thinking about the possibility, but there is a chance that the United States government could one day become a malevolent entity actively harming harming the citizenry. The 2nd Amendment is there to help prevent that.
  • I would be astounded. Does anyone *really* believe that such a proposal could pass by a 2/3 majority in BOTH houses of Congress (290 votes in the House, 67 votes in the Senate) AND be passed by 3/4 of state legislatures (38 states)? We might as well worry about when Congress will vote itself a pay cut.... . . .
  • Nobody is talking about repealing the 2nd amendment. They just want it enforced in the manner described by its authors. A well managed Militia. Not every nut in the country running around with machine guns.
  • It could never be ratified... besides, Washington DC would get a lead enema.
