Great if you want a civil war. I agree with the fact that it was never really needed in the first place, but I also am not about to chase a utopia either. I think the better option is to stress "WELL REGULATED".
There is a long history in court cases that DO allow for stricter firearm laws. Even the late Scalia(sp) said that firearms could be regulated.
It sounds nice in theory and yes it is an amendment and we have repealed amendments in the past. I just don't know how realistic it is without creating fundy terrorists or a civil war.
Australia and Scotland and Japan do not have a 2nd Amendment and DO allow for firearm ownership. What they don't have that America does is a obsession with firearms.
I think short term that may not be realistic. I think attitudes have to change to a great enough degree for what you say to work.
Trading roles. Now look who's being an appeasement bitch.
