In reply to the discussion: Repeal the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution [View all]Xolodno
(7,351 posts)You can do limits and is constitutional. But when you start messing with the constitution, you open a can of worms. It isn't perfect, but its the governing document that has been the status quo of this country for two centuries, you can't just undo that without repercussions. This is the nation that elected Trump and could do so again. If anything in the first ten amendments becomes repealable, then they all are.
Government enforced religion, speech against the government outlawed, political parties made illegal, etc. Then are all on the table.
On top of that, there are lines neither party will cross, and this is one of them. Mexico has more stringent environmental laws than the USA. But they don't enforce them. Changing a law doesn't fix a problem, changing the mentality is everything.
We can limit, restrict, deny guns with a proper SC, but to just flat out outlaw them, is not going to happen. Particularly with hunters who discharge their fire arm only a couple of times during hunting season for their protein intake. Who also are the first line of finding poachers and reporting them.
