“They will gut the 2nd Amendent...They want to disarm America...”

With what and by what means?

The 2nd Amendment is absolutely repeal-proof. Read the story of the repeal of the very unpopular 18th Amendment; it was an extremely difficult process just as the Founders intended.

OK, five lefty states have passed ex post facto `assault weapons’ bans, 2nd Amendment be d@mned. Owners must sell, turn in, or move them out of state. Compliance is hovering around 5% but none of these states are planning to carry out door-to-door confiscations. It’s a standoff aka two-way firing range.

The disarming of Americans didn’t even approach beginning to happen under Clinton and Obama. Isn’t going to happen now.

Ban bumpfire stocks? Better ban all shooters’ thumbs, too, because that & a belt loop is all that’s needed to bump fire.

Gun grabbers are long on condemnatory rhetoric & short on concrete proposals. `Name & shame’ was tried until the publishers of names found their homes & addresses listed on google earth, with directions. Sauce for the goose, etc.

They don’t need any Amendment. Govt rules by fiat. No amendment was passed for SS, welfare, war on drugs, etc. yet The People are prosecuted\jailed\killed all the same.

Didn’t stop EO 1602 (gold confiscation), Nixon’s gold standard, DACA, Hugo Black’s judicial coup, etc.

O’Care wasn’t ‘lost’ on merits. Govt & lawyers (I repeat myself) never read/voice beyond the words they wish to convey. In this instance it was the ‘power to tax’. What wasn’t was ‘for what purpose’, let alone ‘by what authority’.

Even those ‘lawfully’ passed *should* be null/void (13th by compulsion & 16th A. as it violates 4th\5th\13th).

But, to think govt WON’T be coming? I’m afraid I haven’t seen any pols run out on the rail or lamp-post swinging to believe the People willing to put up any resistance. Damn near economic slaves and, as long as there’s M. night football/SWTS, I suspect the turn-over will be mostly bloodless.
