It's going to take a Constitutional Amendment or a re-interpretation by the Supreme court. Since it is a Constitutional right as interpreted by the Supreme Court that specifically includes the phrase "shall not be infringed", you can pass law after unConstitutional law, and they'll all get struck down. Just like the law in DC was struck down for having to have a "good reason". Would we really apply that kind of logic to our other rights? Hillary seems to think that people's Constitutional rights can be removed by getting secretly entered onto the no-fly list. How do you get on it? What judicial orders do they have? If people on the list are really terrorists, arrest them! Charge them. extrajudicial processes are complete BS in a constitutional democracy.
So when I see someone who understands these simple facts, I see someone who doesn't pander on this issue. seeking economic justice will accomplish way more than attacking gun owners
