The actual Second Amendment has been so perversely interpreted and twisted into an unrecognizable legal pretzel by ultra-right-wing judges (I'm looking at you, dead Scalia) so as to be a virtual suicide pact. I say it's too broken to be fixed. Let's repeal it.

are the same judges that ruled the constitution protects same sex marriage.

militia members? The answer is never. Prior to 2008, the U.S. wasn't a gun control paradise.

Go right ahead. Everything it takes to repeal it is right there in the Constitution in clear, unambiguous terms.

2/3 majorities in both houses of Congress, 3/4 of the states to ratify the repeal within the deadlines.

So you best get off the couch and get those petitions started. Be sure and keep us posted on how it's going.

But perhaps you meant to have somebody else actually do all the "heavy lifting" for you, so you can sit on the couch and type furiously about how incensed you are, then celebrate when the first of the Bill of Rights amendments is repealed ?

Or are you just another lazy gun control fan that's all talk and no action?

But "by Cracky" (a little Gabby Hayes there for all of us), if somebody else will circulate the hundreds of thousands of petitions, get the millions of verified signatures and go to every state and every town hall meeting, lobby all the thousands of legislators at the Federal and state level for all 50 states repeatedly.

They'll have to push for passage day and night and not mind having the Dems lose many, many state and federal seats, to make the poster happier. I'm sure they have that level of long term commitment.

Then when they realize how much is involved they fall back on that old, lazy punch line; "Well, we really just need one more liberal judge to interpret it correctly."

Mouthing off online is easy, getting anything actually done in the real world takes grass roots infrastructure and hard work and none of them seem too terribly interested in that part.

...is too much hard work.

...when I point out that those who say they want to repeal the 2A doom the whole idea by advertising their lack of interest by having no ambition to even reply to a post.

Why am I not surprised

I don't think life in the USA is so scary that our rights are a "suicide" pact.
In fact, I don't think living in the USA is scary at all.

The second is interpreted as an individual right by both the party platform and Pres. Obama, so I don't understand what "perverted interpretation" you are talking about.

The current interpretation (Heller, McDonald) is entirely in line with the framer's intent.

Do legal pretzels come in unsalted?

So you're not scared of my sidearm, to a point where you do not care if I carry one or not.

Thank you for supporting my rights.
