I'm just gonna say it.

[momta]

And I know I'm not the first, but I'm just so goddamn angry.

WE NEED TO REPEAL THE SECOND AMENDMENT.

We can't rely on the fucking supreme court to uphold any laws that we might be able to eek through our unholy senate, so let's just repeal the the thing and "let the states decide."

1. Yes, yes, and yes.

It’s a diseased vestigial structure which is morphed into an engine of mayhem and slaughter.

[no_hypocrisy]

2. And in the tradition of "Who's going to 'bell the cat'"

who's going to remove those firearms from gun owners?

4. Australia had a buy-back program

$1000 would persuade MANY.
If Texas can do it, so can we. For those who resist the buyback, citizens can sue anyone in possession of an assault weapon for 10k.

3. 2/3rd Senate, 2/3rd House 3/4th states must agree and then it's done.

Sincere best of luck.

[evolves]

7. Precisely.

Will never happen.

[MissMillie]

5. I think it's time to ban money from politics.

The guns are dangerous, to be sure.

The money.... well that's where ALL the craziness begins.

[crickets]

11. 👆 Citizens United and the dark money it enables are slowly killing this country. nt

[Buns_of_Fire]

6. I agree wholeheartedly, but it won't happen.

Even amending it is off the table for the same reasons.

The best we can hope for is a Supreme Court that'll interpret it -- all of it, including the "well-regulated" part -- so that laws can be passed to mitigate some of the damage.

Good luck with that, too. Moscow Mitch will be happily harvesting coals in hell long before the current crop reaches their sell-by date.

8. If Republicans get the authoritarian government they want the 2nd Amendment will

be the first thing that goes. That is more likely to happen than Democrats getting it done.

[hunter]

9. Guns are a public health menace like smoking or drunk driving.

We need to treat gun fetishists like we treat drunk drivers or smokers, second amendment notwithstanding.

Gun fetishes are deadly and disgusting.

The second amendment was bullshit when it was written and its bullshit now.

[pressbox69]

10. Before the Second Amendment

The SCOTUS needs to be packed with judges who were not appointed by orange cancer. Rapist, drunkard liars that must be outnumbered by honest Americans who will bring honor to their black robes and less likely to be wearing white robes and hoods like some of today's SCOTUS are.
