I’m curious as to which `rats are actually proposing repeal of the 2nd, in that that position has proved to be a “third rail” for politicians, like Social Security reform.
They try to nibble away at it through “gun control”, certainly, but even if they would like to see it repealed, I doubt that anyone would be able to supply any cites of politicians, even `rats, saying, “The 2nd Amendment should be repealed,” just as they never say they favor abortion: it’s always they support “a woman’s right to choose”.
Semantics is a weapon or tool, and we shouldn’t cede it to them.
I’ve seen a number of columns since VT saying that we need to repeal the 2nd.
I don’t remember this after previous such tragedies, as it was assumed that laws could handle any controls desired.
It appears that a consensus is gradually building that the 2nd does indeed protect individual right to own weapons. This is a huge and positive change from previous decades, when it was assumed that it could just be ignored.
