Exactly.

Theoretically the 2nd amendment can be repealed. But it takes an overwhelming consensus to change the constitution. It takes a 2/3 vote in each house of Congress, then approval by 3/4 of the states. It’s a high hurdle, but the Founding Fathers wanted to make it difficult to just change the constitution on a whim.

Don’t need to change the second amendment, just get radical SCOTUS picks to give a ruling to take our guns away - a lot easier for the Democrats.
