...no chance in hell it could be overturned. Add to that it's the second amendment, part of the founding fathers...and then lets throw in the only part of the original Constitution that allowed slaves...which took a war to essentially overturn...

Don't see it being abolished any time soon. And if fact, at best, be regulated into a "semi-ban"...where the owners are allowed to store and use their guns at "appropriate" venues.

But given that, Trump (and Tea Party) supporters don't have enough "functionality" to figure that out. And think whoever the next President is going to "take away their guns"...because a local politician said so...despite the obvious hurdles...

well, what can I say.
