Yeah, just repeal it. So easy a former scotus could do it. Right stevens? Uh, maybe someone should go back and review the process required. Or listen to a bunch of kids that know nothing (obviously) of history or the constitution.

He is 90+ and will likely die soon. So he wouldn’t have to live through the catastrophic results for Freedom that he so desires. Typical LIB loser.

Stevens is just doing what he can to get the republican base stirred up and ready to charge the polls in November.
He could be the deciding factor in keeping democrats out of the majority in either house.
What a great job he is doing!

What makes Stevens’ remarks not only ridiculous but also very selfish is that what would repealing 2A honestly do in terms of dealing with the criminal and tragic misuse of firearms? Basically nothing. Remember that the laws and apparatus were already in place to prevent something like last month’s tragedy in Florida and yet failed due to corruption and incompetency among school and law enforcement people.

At least we should admit that he is outlining the correct process. Not the infringement that Dems always do. If the libs ever DID get a Constitutional Convention together they might not like what happens next! And no, they arent going to get 3/4 of both the House and Senate to repeal the 2nd Amendment either.

Are the first 10 amendments, the Bill of Rights, considered more powerful than the rest of them because of what they are? Can they be repealed? The original union may not have been formed at all without them.
Just questions from a non-lawyer. Let's see who chimes in.

The right to bear arms is among the inalienable rights. The 2nd amendment didn’t grant that right and repealing it wouldn’t take it away.

Thirty eight states needed for repeal.I have trouble identifying even 11 that would vote to do so.Of course we could first amend the Constitution to read that the only thing required to amend it is a majority vote by the House and/or Senate.Once *that* amendment is passed then the 2nd Amendment would be repealed the next time the Rats controlled both Houses of Congress.

And then, once 38 states vote for repeal of a right which most of them recognize, we just have to get thru the ensuing civil war.

The BOR is a recognition of God given rights. Implicit is the government’s duty to protect those rights and their application in daily life.
They cannot create those rights and repeal of them would be meaningless.

Did this Justice ever have a Security Detail assigned to him ? Just wondering ...
To: bankwalker
And are at least half of Americans, those predisposed to minority supremacy and leftism too immature to have access to firearms uninfringed ???
I say a resounding YES

As long as you can have a single shot flintlock with a 1 bullet maximum, locked up in the town armory...
... The second amendment will not be repealed.
I don’t like the language. I’m not being a nitpicking jerk, they are the nitpicking jerks and they are the ones who look at this language as a weapon.
So we need to look at language.
