Actually, dumba$$, if "Shall not be infringed" were restored to being the "Supreme Law of the Land", it'd take another Amendment passed by 3/4 of the State legislatures and 2/3's of both Houses of Congress to ratify a repeal of the Second to change it.

Or a Ruth Bader Ginsberg style court to obliterate state laws protecting concealed carry in favor of your dream of nationalized gun laws.

Actually, read the Parker decision. They quote one of her decisions wherein a BoR protected Right was ruled being off limits to both the Feds and the States.

What we have now are 50 different States with hundreds of different standards for what should be an inalienable Right to keep and bear arms. Trash them all for a "shall not be infringed" SCOTUS ruling and all 300 million of us not subject to incarceration or commitment would be restored in our Right.

If the SCOTUS doesn't rule that way, then we still have options.
