9. If that was the law of the land

then I would follow it, I wouldn't be happy about it. But it ain't never going to happen.
First you would have to have a Constitutional Convention and then get 2/3 of the states to ratify the repeal, do you honestly think thats going to happen.
If even such a proposal were floated in the congress, you'd see gun owners rally together like never before, and I don't mean the NRA, I mean all 80 million of us, which makes a pretty potent political force.
There would be massive civil disobedience in the country also.
