Anybody who would repeal any of the articles of the bill of rights would have no issue shredding the entire US Constitution altogeather.

One of the reasons why the second amendment was written was to ensure that Government would not become a tyrannical entity. It was also there to ensure the survival of our country should it be invaded, conquored, and occupied by a foreign army.

If the second amendment is repealed it will make it much for the US to succumb to creeping tyranny more so than it is already.

--We are already a surveillance state, with the 2nd amendment repealed, we will have failed 'The Great Experiment' that our country embarked on over 200 years ago, and we would become a police state not much better than China.


And yet when the Whiskey Rebellion broke out, the founding fathers themselves had put down that armed uprising by force of arms, even though the Pennsylvanian rebels would have told you they were only forming a militia to fight government tyranny.

The only way we're ever going to take back our government from the tyranny it's become is by a revolution of the mind -- not violent insurgency. Once the people realize they have the power to take it all back by demanding our elected officials represent us, first, or you're not getting f*****g reelected!


Unfortunately, most Americans are too stupid nowadays to even know what our rights and responsibilities are. H.L. Mencken was absolutely right.

Constitutional rights are spelled out plainly enough.
Responsibilities are a bit more cloudy and subject to individual values.
