Gun Control & RKBA

It might start as a means to ban guns, but before you know it, abortion is illegal, English is the mandatory national language and Christianity is the official religion, flag burning is a capital felony, the death penalty is mandatory for a host of crimes, and Muslims are heading to internment camps.

The risks to all sides of opening the entire Constitution for change far outweighs the benefits, particularly since the amendment process is far more limited, precise, and predictable. However, it's still technically an option if gun controllers cannot get two-thirds of Congress to pass an amendment and want to appeal directly to the states.

In any event, I will not be losing any sleep fearing the Second Amendment is in any jeopardy or that there'll suddenly be public support or legal sanction for the government to start kicking down the doors of everyday Americans to confiscate their firearms. Heck, gun controllers couldn't even pass UBC's with a Democratic-controlled Senate after the death of schoolchildren.
