This is absolutely astonishing. While the US Constitution outlines provisions for its amendment, we should tread very lightly on the ground around repeal of ANY rights granted by this timeless document.
The second amendment recognized an individual right; it has always recognized that individual right.
Just because the gun-grabbers want to extend their control to the rest of us, and SCOTUS has hammered them, they want to immediately jump to amending the US Constitution?
Absolutely ridiculous. Scary, too. These people must be stopped.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but erasing the 2A doesn't eliminate that right. The Constitution doesn't grant rights; it lists some.

And even then, just because they are listed doesn't mean that they are the only ones or that the listed ones are any more valuable than non listed rights.
