So this guy is anti gun and he thinks repealing the 2nd Amendment would restrict guns better than incrementalizing laws?

What an idiot.

If we put the same type of regulations around “freedom of the press” as we do around owning a firearm, the daily news would be about two weeks behind, there’d be only a couple of news outlets, they’d all be censored by the federal government, and there’d be a huge blackmarket where people went for current news. Neither incrementalism nor a repeal will eliminate guns from society. What's this guy's plan for all the new criminals that will be created after the repeal? Amnesty?

Hmmm... substitute MSM for the press, and “New Media” for the blackmarket... and you are not so far off of reality.
