A full-time professor on the faculty of the newly-minted Texas A&M University School of Law called for the repeal and replacement of the Second Amendment on Friday.

UConns main student-run journal, The Connecticut Law Review, organized the event, according to Connecticut Public Radio. It was well-attended, primarily by law students, law professors and local attorneys.

“Agriculture and Military

Thank you, nice catch.
They are. They simply codify inherent, inalienable God given rights.
It takes a gigantic amount of arrogance, presumption, delusion and ignorance, to say nothing of cojones, to even suggest that ANY one of the Rights in the lynchpin of our Constitution should be "repealed and replaced."
Does this knowledge challenged individual know that without the Bill of Rights, in its entirety the Constitution would not have been adopted when it was? It might have never been adopted.
There is a reason why the Bill of Rights is not considered a collection of Amendments, but an integral part of the original Constitution itself.
That, and the inescapable reality that a formal, specific procedure was included required to make permanent changes to the Constitution would make any normal, rational person pause.
That speaks volumes about Ms. Pennrose's judgment, personality and experience.
Actually it's worse that that.
Why do we keep such an allegiance to a document that was driven by 11th Century concerns?
The Magna Carta!
You may safely, I think, add GLBT militant fan to that sorry list...
Careful.
Without proper care, the same Marxists who challenged the meaning of the word "is" can challenge the meaning of the word "people" ad infinitum...
Just as they destroy chemical/biological/nuclear arsenals to ensure they can never be used again, we can all contribute to the effort by expending all the ammo we have on hand when they declare our weapons are illegal...
She is hardly a “cretin,” although this is, indeed, a knuckle-headed idea. Her resume is long and impressive.
Take any random group of 50K people, the enrollment at A&M, and you’re going to get a lot of divergent opinion. In her case, she diverges greatly from the prevailing campus culture.
That said, she’s a tenured professor and can say whatever she wants, which is a decidedly first amendment issue. She just may have a chore defending her views in College Station.
But she appears to be a fan of Kevorkian.
