No law can overturn the Bill of Rights. The only thing that can change the 2nd amendment is another amendment.

True, but the Democrats, and not a few RINOS, have already shown they don't give a crap about the Bill of Rights, or the rest of the Constitution for that matter.

Those who vote for the Santa Claus party also don't care as long as they get their "free stuff".

Correct

Wrong. When Obama puts one or more of his Socialist-loving cronies on the Supreme Court, they can (and will) redefine their interpretation such that the second amendment does not apply to individuals; rather, it recognizes the right of a state to arm its militia. Following that Congress will have the green light to regulate, and/or prohibit individual gun ownership followed by confiscation.

Congress can make any law or constitutional amendment they want, but they can't overturn an unalienable right. Governments only have the power to suppress the people's free exercise of their God-given rights. They can't even improve upon them. In fact, any meddling they do in the area of natural rights is only bound to curtail them.
