Fine.

Introduce a Constitutional amendment in the House and the Senate repealing the Second Amendment.

Hell, I'll even draft it:

Amendment XXVIII:

1. The Second Amendment to this Constitution is hereby repealed.
2. Congress shall have the power to regulate or forbid the manufacture, importation, sales, transfer, or possession of firearms.
3. From the date this Amendment is ratified, Congress shall have the power to confiscate all firearms within the United States without compensation.
4. Congress may enforce the provisions of this Amendment by appropriate legislation, any State laws to the contrary not withstanding.
5. The appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court shall not extend to any laws passed by Congress under this amendment.

There. I would introduce this amendment tomorrow, just to help out these public-minded citizens like Bret Stephens if I were in Congress.

Of course, there may not be 67 votes in the Senate for this. There may not be 291 votes in the House. And, in the event that there were, it is perhaps unlikely that 38 State Legislatures or conventions would ratify it.

What then, Mr. Bigmouth Bret Stephens?

I never figured it would get to this but..

Might it be better for those state who might still revile the constitution to demand that these certain states get to FO of the union?

Say, the northeast and the left coast?

If the political Left thinks they have problems now, they should make an ernest a attempt to push through this appeal. It would be fun to see the Democrats actually have to change their party-name for future elections.
