Let's repeal the Second Amendment

[livingston]

So let’s repeal the Second Amendment. It is dated, lethal, and morally abhorrent. The Constitution is not a sacred text. It is a framework for government, the product of dozens of compromises. The men who framed the document envisioned that it would be changed. They made the process difficult and time-consuming, but it has happened.

The Second Amendment emerged out of a context unique to a new nation. When it was ratified, America’s leaders relied upon the militia for local defense, to punish Indians, and control slaves, and in a nation separated from its imperial rivals by the Atlantic, the militias were barely adequate to that task. But the conditions from which the Second Amendment emerged obviously no longer apply.


Repealing the Second Amendment would deprive no one of their guns, but it would empower the Congress and state legislatures to do something effectively to end the slaughter. Some jurisdictions will act with a decision to limit magazines and increase background checks, and others will not. But let’s get rid of this antiquated and blood-drenched amendment, and let’s end the slaughter.

The day after a repeal of the 2nd all gun ownership would be forbidden ... Would this quisling be on the front lines to collect them from the population ........ Don't think so...

Go ahead, you think you got the voted? Try it, see how embarrassed you will be.

You GD libtards think you have it all figured out, wrong. You know that repeal can never nor will ever happen so you write these stupid ideas down and believe you are smarter than all others!

Seriously, quit playing fucking games and do it. Get the convention together and do it all legal!

The second amendment is relevant for one simple reason. Human nature. Has there ever been a point in human history where governments did not become corrupt, abuse and murder their own people? Maybe for short moments, but the inevitability is that conflict is an inseparable part of human nature, short of a lobotomy. Ivory tower liberals quickly forget this, despite it being right in their faces like a giant dick, making all of their conversations seem silly given it's presence.

What they are doing in my opinion is they never said let’s repeal the 2a or confiscate/ban guns now they are easing people into it. Kids born now will hear repeal, confiscation, and ban and will get used to it. They also see less homes having guns so figure those kids won’t hear that’s bullshit you need to fight for your rights. They figure at some point 10-20 years down the road they will have the support to do what they want.

I worked with French people and all they hear their whole lives were guns are bad they kill people. Guess what they all believed it. They came here I took them shooting and they said wow that’s fun and safe. I can’t believe how safe it is.

In my humble opinion they know at this point they can’t repeal, ban, and confiscate at this point. Also they see the talks and rallies and think this is popular at this point and it is. I just don’t think there is enough to actually get it done. They may get some support to in certain areas to ban AR’s because of all the negativity around them. That’s a perfect example of how they want repealing, banning, and confiscation to go.

Id say repeal the 4th also.
We would be much safer if the police knew what everyone had in their pockets and in their home.
If law enforcement was able to search people, homes and vehicles at will, they could stop many crimes before they happen.
The 4th amendment was written during a time when people were suspicious and afraid of the legal system. Now, 200 years later, there is no need to fear the law.
How about repealing the 5th amendment.
After all, who knows what you did better than you? Duh
And of course repeal the 1st amendment.
Probably the most outdated of all amendments.
I mean come on.
The first was meant to protect peoples speech from a brand new government. People were afraid to speak their minds because they were just freed from a tyrannical British government and didnt know how this new government would work.
However, now we know that our government is fair and honest.
If we could control speech just a little bit, maybe we could stop bullying and other social crimes.
Dont even get me started on the 13th amendment!!!
