Good luck repealing any Amendment. Only been done once. The Founding Fathers made it difficult as h*** to do.

To repeal an Amendment, you have to pass and ratify another one. Look at repeal of Prohibition.

The 2nd Amendment is part of the Bill of Rights which recognizes, not confers, inalienable rights. Gun ownership is a right, not a privilege granted by the State.

Well, remember.. To Obunghole, it didn’t matter WHAT the Constitution (or laws) said.. he either ignored them, or made his own “Executive Orders”.

I understand that. I was alluding to their utopia fantasy.

In his “Commentaries On The Constitution”, Joseph Story spells out why we have a 2nd Amendment.
