Eh, we traded a war on booze for a war on drugs. I’ll never understand why we learned from prohibition on alcohol but treat weed the way we do. One set of criminals for another.
 
They won’t repeal the 2 Amendment. They’ll outlaw ammunition sales. You can’t get rid of guns. However, you can curtail the manufacturing of powder and brass.
 
Well the bill of rights is a little different than the rest of the amendments. I think that’s part of it.
 
Ammunition is covered under the second. They couldn’t ban sales of ammunition for the same reason they can’t outright ban guns.
 
Believe me, they’ll find a way to make it impossible. Perhaps not directly but definitely indirectly.
 
So true! The meek are usually plotting the demise of their boisterous counterparts …
 
If I was convinced that the Constitution was under attack and the 2nd amendment was going to be repealed, I’d take up arms and join a Civil Militia.

I swore an oath to defend the US Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. They’ll repeal the 2nd amendment over my dead body.

Honestly, if it was done with the correct and legal process I wouldn’t be mad. It is an amendment, it can be legally changed. I’d argue against it and hope it was a failing attempt, but our constitution isn’t written in stone, it can be changed. Granted I’d probably also ignore such an amendment and either be right in line next to you or heading for the hills as the case may call for.

I get aggravated by the attempts to side step it and it make it say things it doesn’t.
 
But it’s the Constitution you wish to defend which stipulates the processes for amendment and repeal. You would defend the Constitution by taking up arms against it?

One thing I think should happen is we should (sadly) hold the parent accountable for the actions of the child: if the child gets the parent’s legally owned weapon (which I’ve read happens in something like 2/3 of school shootings, and given the accounts of same it seems plausible) and commits a crime with it, the parent also does time.
Click to expand...
There are already laws making parents liable if their negligence allows their child to commit a crime. The problem is that, under our system, culpability must be proven not assumed (and that is a good thing).
 
I’ll go out on a limb here and say the likelihood of getting the correct majority for a repeal of an amendment comprising the Bill of Rights is close to nil.
 
Pretty much what I meant, just better clarified.

I have yet to see this actually done.

I agree that parents should be prosecuted if their guilt can be proven, my point is that this can’t always be done. It isn’t illegal for parents to allow their children to have access to firearms (not everywhere anyway), so one would need to prove that the parents knew or should have known that the child was dangerous, which cannot always be done.
