Time to repeal the Second Amendment?

[DavieD55]

What a stupid c---. Over time they might get their wish with the indoctrination And political correctness that is being forced on the nations youngsters from pre-school all the way through institutions of so called higher learning.

That crack pot is a perfect example of what I am talking about.

I wonder if she thought if we repeal the 2nd, we'll also have to repeal the 4th so the gov't can enter homes to confiscate guns. The thing that pisses me off the most is the statement that we "tolerate" gun violence. I sure as hell wouldn't tolerate someone shooting up a school or a movie theatre!

Any part of the constitution can be amended. Just takes passage of a bill by congress, or convocation of a constitutional convention, and any such amendments must be approved by 3/4 of the states in order to take effect.

What is the goal? To increase safety?

For the children

I stand corrected. Thank you.

and then you have this guy:

what do they have in common? They are academics. I deal with the clash between theory and reality all day long. If it's not with academics it's with finance weenies or some other support agency.
Anyways, here's a snippet:

1. The only guns permitted will be the following:

• a. Smoothbore or Rifled muzzle-loading blackpowder muskets. No 7-11 in history has ever been held up with one of these.
• b. Double-barrel breech-loading shotguns. Hunting with these is valid.
• c. Bolt-action rifles with a magazine capacity no greater than five rounds. Like I said, hunting is valid. But if you cannot bring down a defenseless deer in under five rounds, then you have no fking reason to be holding a killing tool in the first place.

2. We will pry your gun from your cold, dead, fingers. That is because I am willing to wait until you die, hopefully of natural causes. Guns, except for the three approved categories, cannot be inherited. When you die your weapons must be turned into the local police department, which will then destroy them. (Weapons of historical significance will be de-milled, but may be preserved.)
3. Police departments are no longer allowed to sell or auction weapons used in crimes after the cases have been closed. (That will piss off some cops, since they really need this money. But you know what they need more? Less violence and death. By continuing the process of weapon recirculation, they are only making their jobs -- or the jobs of some other cops -- harder.)
4. We will submit a new tax on ammunition. In the first two years it will be 400 percent of the current retail cost of that type of ammunition. (Exemptions for the ammo used by the approved weapons.) Thereafter it will increase by 20 percent per year.
5. We will initiate a nationwide "buy-back" program, effective immediately, with the payouts coming from the DoD budget. This buy-back program will start purchasing weapons at 200 percent of their face value the first year, 150 percent the second year, 100 percent the third year. Thereafter there will be a 10 year pause, at which point the guns can be sold to the government at 10 percent of their value for the next 50 years.
6. The major gun manufactures of the United States, less those who create weapons for the federal government and the armed forces, will be bought out by the United States of America, for our own damned good.

And there is probably as many people out there listening to and agreeing with them as there are on our side.

She's "extremely passionate" about the Constitution, yet calls it outdated? Hypocrite. She's retarded. The framers of the Constitution created the 2nd Amendment not for "standing armies" but to ensure that the right of the people to keep and bear arms would not be infringed by the government. She thinks she's so smart, yet she obviously fails to realize that the Bill of Rights is to restrict the government from committing tyrannical acts against the people. Maybe she needs to go to a different Constitutional law school than the one she went to with Barack Obama.

I think she should be careful about taking away peoples rights and moving slowly towards communism. The first thing commies do is kill all the lawyers.
