Americans will no doubt decry such an act while still fiercely defending their 2nd amendment rights. How much more fierce an argument does one need to encourage a revisit of the 2nd amendment and consider amending it? I've argued this many times before with our American friends and the only thing I can say to them is, When you get so heartily sick and tired of all the deaths and injuries which your 2nd amendment freedoms confer on you, then maybe you'll think again. it's not as if America is any stranger to the concept of limitations of the freedoms of its citizens, is it?
You mean repeal it?, It's already an amendment in the bill of rights. I agree though, it would be better to repeal it, than to continue on violating it. Then at least those would know where they stand without having to guess what is allowed and what is not.
The 2nd amendment protects the rights of people who want to own guns but it denies the rights of citizens who want to live in a society where they are not threatened by death at the hands of freedom-loving gun-crazy loonies.
So, people have the right to have no rights?, and freedom is bad. We should like, want to get rid of that.

When is enough enough? There has to be a change in gun laws, surely? You can't expect that the right to bear arms is going to protect you in these kind of situations. It's just so wrong.
Your right, American's rights stopped protecting them, oh, say, around a hundred years ago give or take. Well, it's on paper, but any given athority only just violates them in the real world. Far as laws go, America has them, countless laws that fly in the face of not only the 2ed, but the 4th, and in some cases, the 1st amendments. New York, and Califorina, other states, cities,.
The reason I think it's so hard to get the same gun control in America as a whole rests in the states, 50 of them by last count. Even if they did get all the states on board, and repeal the 2ed amendment, They would need all the available police agencies, and military to conduct mass confiscation. Otherwise, your gonna have people scrambling to get rid of their guns, and selling them to anyone to try and recover some of their investment. I seriouslly doubt any buy back program is going to pay anything close to what the guns actually cost those who purchased them.
It's doable, Today, they can track down just about anyone they suspect of having them. However if they didn't do so quickly, They may find many they suspect of having guns, no longer do, and those who couldn't get them before, will have them.
But anything other than a full repeal of the 2ed, would just be more laws contridicting eachother. Many say that any law created that goes against the bill of rights is void by default.
