more accurately we are one supreme from cwii if they attempt to revoke the 2nd amendment, which btw doesn’t bestow the right to keep and bear arms, but re-affirms the pre-existing right that predates the constitution. man has always had the right to self defense, it’s an integral part of the right to life. you can’t have a right to life and not be able to defend it with lethal force.
No Pollyanna here, but a Constitutional amendment cannot be revoked with a mere stroke of Obama’s pen. It can only be repealed by the same long, cumbersome & difficult process by which amendments are passed in the first place, by a two thirds majority in Congress, then ratified by three fourths (that’s 38) of the states. As the Founders intended.
A majority of the states have CCW & Republican governors. The only Amendment ever repealed was the 18th (Prohibition) & that was wildly popular when it happened.
If Obama wants to behave like a dictator, he’ll be cutting a lot of Democrats’ throats in the Congress. Think 2014.
Checks & balances. Separation of powers. Tenth Amendment. Things of beauty, all of them.
