In June, SDTC discussed "solving the gun problem" by repealing the Second Amendment. Mr. Moeller had written a paper on the topic. They voted to put it online, linked above. From their online minutes: "Clark Moeller on repeal of the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution defining gun ownership: Mr. Moeller submitted a 48 page document he prepared with title, “The Second Amendment Is the Problem”, which defines the problems associated in the U.S. with gun ownership and their history. It develops arguments for repeal of the Second Amendment as the only plausible route out of the dilemma of gun violence. Mr. Moeller asked the Committee to take up this issue and work toward repeal, using his document as a source of information and a basis of discussion and thought about the subject. Mr. Offner moved that we accept the idea of repeal of the Second Amendment, accept Clark’s document as a seminal one, and place it on our website. This was seconded, but before much discussion could occur, Mr. Chauls proposed a friendly amendment asking that discussion of repeal and acceptance of the document be deferred until our next meeting to allow everyone to read its text and become informed on the subject. This amendment was accepted and the amended motion was approved unanimously."

Actually there are advantages for an up-front approach to repeal 2A. All the politicians who say "I of course support the second amendment wholeheartedly, BUT..." would be flushed out into the open as being gun grabbers.
Mr. Moeller uses a common tactic to present his idea, he states that there are 30,000 "gun murders" in the USA!
It would fit right in with the Democrats’ proposed repeal of the First Amendment.
They should all be stabbed to death.
And the 10th was gone long ago.
” Mr. Moeller uses a common tactic to present his idea, he states that there are 30,000 “gun murders” in the USA! “
Well, there should have been 30,001, Mr. Moeller.
“They should all be stabbed to death.”
Nah they should get lots of exposure. They are harmless, just exercising their 1st A rights.
Perhaps Mr. Moeller should consider moving to s society in which the ownership of guns by private citizens is prohibited—Say North Korea.
Repealing the 2nd Amendment will not make God change his mind about granting us the right to self defense, nor the right to oppose tyrannical governments.
I’m wondering how to solve the “Clark Moeller problem”.
Perhaps a one-way ticket for him to go to North Korea, a Communist crap-hole where he would not have to worry about law-abiding citizens owning guns, would be satisfactory from his point of view as well as ours.
After all, they don’t got no stinkin’ Second Amendment to worry about there.
Stupid morons. 2A is a recognition of the natural law right to self defense. Even if they were to succeed in repealing it, the natural law rights are pre-political rights.
“Repealing the 2nd Amendment will not make God change his mind about granting us the right to self defense,”
Righteo! Assuming you get 2/3 of Congress and 3/4 of the states, the remaining states would secede and we’d start a war. Not quite the peace and rainbows they envision
Just be sure to plant a “Welcome Criminals” sign at the town border.
They are not talking about a local solution, they want us ALL to give up our rights to resist tyranny and piracy.
Moonbats.
Yes. It would never pass but we’d have a list of who believes what.
Are they really so stupid as to think that outlawing guns would stop violent criminals from getting them or are they just afraid of an armed citizenry? My guess is both.
Stand on the street holding signs moonbats.
Please!
The Minutemen from Sudbury were part of the force opposing the British at the Battle of Concord Bridge in 1775. If they had been disarmed, Sudbury would still be British.
