Would you support repeal of the Second Amendment?

60. It's too late for that, BUT

I would love to see what the founders had planned for our Constitution to be put into place. They realized that times would change, and that the constitution needed a generation "tweaking" every so often... (I think every 20 years was what they envisioned)

The 2nd amendment thing made sense back then. It was hard to arm and outfit an army, and since people hunted for food, and the army had gotten them all arms, it made sense for them to retain their guns and to be ready to go at a moment's notice if the British decided to take back the colonies (a real worry at the time). I'm sure none of them envisioned what today's guns would be, or that so many people would have the desire to build a personal arsenal.Back then people probably had ONE gun, and it was for hunting & protecting the family out in the woods from bears, wildcats, snakes & the locals who would do them harm. I don;t think they ever planned on people hunting other people for sport.

Had the every 20 years thing come to pass, there would have surely been some clarification of the 2nd amendment as time went along..
