Repeal the Second Amendment

[Burma Jones]

If we cannot exercise these rights with some common sense, then it's time to remove Constitutional protection.

1. Impossible

2/3's of both congresses, and 75% of the states have to approve. We will never get 38 states to agree on it.

I doubt you will see an assault weapon ban passed next year, and that only takes 51% to pass, and none of the states have to approve it.

2. How about we simply enforce it?

No guns unless you're a member of a well-regulated militia?

[Burma Jones]

5. OK by me

Hence my reference to sense

3. First of all, you can't mandate or enforce common sense!

I was quite surprised tonight when, as I was talking to my D
IL who is originally from Romania, and now lives in Italy, that she said nobody uses common sense anywhaere anymore! Not in Italy, not in Romania, or any of the countries she and my son have visited, which include Germany, France, Switzerland, Spain, and North Africa. I guess I honestly though it was only in the US.

I don't think it's rational, not possible to get the 2nd ammendment repealed. But if you check it out, you will find that the USA has the MOST gun deaths of any country in the world!
My son said you can have shotguns in Italy but the only people permitted to have handguns are the police (and the mafioso, but they're not owned legally). In Romania, you can own a gun for sporting purposes, but you have to be a member of a sporting club and the guns must stay there.

Obviously our laws are way too liberal, and sincer humans appear rarely to behave sanely, we really have to change the laws.

6. Russia has about 3x our total murder rate and ZERO civilian handguns. Interesting. nt

[RainbowOverTexas]

7. not even close

a few countries have more per capita and if you take out the suicide gun deaths we rank right about in the middle

[Zoeisright]

8. Yeah. Three countries are worse.

Columbia.
Thailand.
Senegal.

What august company.

[Rincewind]

4. Let's repeal all of them.

That way, there wont be any problem with the authorities searching every home for guns, or any suspected gun owner refusing to incriminate themselves, or anyone speaking out against losing their rights.
