And in my opinion, no 'proper procedure' even exists for changing the 2nd.

'Proper procedure' is a sticking point for some. They'll search and search till they think they have found a back door to abolish the 2nd amendment.

The SCOTUS found a way around imminent domain...didn't they.

IMHO, the MIB are probbing deeper and deeper into testing what we Americans will and will not stand for. They only received a few weeks heat over giving big business the right to take our property.

The 2nd is all that stands between us and tyranny.

I agree. -- As Barnett says:
"-- The whole reason to have a written constitution, like a written contract, is to "lock in" some meaning that can only be changed by proper procedures. Otherwise, why bother? --"

It has been found.
Both parties now agree that our ability to bear arms can be 'regulated' by fed, state & local governments, even to the point of outright prohibitions.
Legislators & Courts all over the country agree with the concept that prohibitive regulations are not infringements. Even some 'originalists' agree.

Figure that..
