Reporter/camera man murdered.

I fail to see any point whatsoever to this distinction, other than that you don't want to admit you were wrong, or mistyped, or hit the submit button too soon (long before you added the 90% of your post made after I quoted you).   The fact that the repealed 2nd Amendment would still be in the Constitution would not cause it to be a right.

If you really want to dive in.....if you really think you've got my ass in a vice....I'll just remind you that these amendments do not actually -grant- us those rights in the first place.  This amendment restricts or encapsulate what laws congress may make regarding that right, it does not establish that right.  Even repealing the second amendment -in it's entirety- won't actually take away my right to bare arms.    Mull it over.

One non sequitur piled atop another.  Yes, the U.S. Constitution's Bill of Rights, primarily limits government action rather creating positive rights.  So?  Repeal the 2nd and the way is open for gun regulation or even prohibition.  But, shitty policy as it might be, an amendment really could prohibit gun ownership at the same time it repealed the 2nd.  The 18th did that to booze.
