Not even Obama, much as he would no doubt like to, can simply `erase’ a Constitutional amendment.

Of course not, but he doesn't have to. An executive order can effectively ban any number of defined firearms or ammunition without even touching on the 2nd Amendment.

Taxation is another means of limiting ownership of firearms or ammunition, just look what they did to the tobacco industry and the current smokers.......

...and how many firearms enthusiasts supported the government on their attack on smokers? One only has to look at the tobacco threads to see how many current members had no concern for them.........

I was just talking about that the other day, I unfortunately live in the totalitarian state called New York city under Despot Mike Bloomberg, and since day one I said this guy Bloomberg is going to keep upping the ante because the people say absolutely NADA when he issues decrees, and that is exactly what he’s done.

Now last week he is looking to ban smoking in residences. That’s right in YOUR PRIVATE RESIDENCE you cannot smoke. And if that ain’t bad enough, he also wants landlords to send lists to the city of the people who smoke in the apartments they rent. I don’t even have to guess next he’s going to demand smokers wear an “S” on their arm and have his boys paint “S” on the windows of store owners who smoke.
