re: #81 Rightwingconspirator

I just have this practical question for those who would end the 2nd Amendment. Don’t you really mean just guns?

One other thing just for conversation-If we do effectively reduce the guns to some irreducible fraction of our current excess, what will we allow? Gonna leave all those can’t carry anything for defense laws in place too? Honest questions here.

The constitutional means of getting rid of the 2nd amendment (or most any other part of the bill of rights outsde the 3rd and 4th…which has been gutted already) would be dire enough to start another civil war in my view. I just don’t see the government surviving that kind of thing. Our polity has not been that fractured or combative since the last civil war.

There is no guarentee that America as we know it will survive this century…and I don’t think it woud survive a constitutional amendment process or convention as described in order to get rid of the 2nd amendment, no matter how archaic the language seems today.
