They can not repeal it, but what they can do, like the Red Queen in Alice in Wonderland, redefine words to mean what they want them to mean.

Thus they will interpret the 2nd Amendment to mean only the government agents can have guns. (Which goes against any understanding of the time when the amendment was written.)

The Constitution sole purpose as I understand it was to limit the power of the federal government. We are so far away from that concept it is not funny.

Somehow it has come about that the constitution limits the power of the citizens (think hate crimes and discrimination).

Precisely what the enemy does — Redefinition. One emotional (silly ‘woman) locally wrote she is ashamed of hunters and responsible gun owners —in an irrational rant against the NRA. And the Second Amendment. My understanding is the fundamental right to keep and bear arms predates the first congress under our constitution. and that right of an armed citizenry is the only thing keeping America from suffering Tyranny. Joseph Story was spot on target in writing of the Palladium of our liberties. But the revisionists and sheep prepared for the slaughter would take that away —or try by their rewriting of laws.

There is no Red Queen in Alice in Wonderland.

I think you mean Humpty-Dumpty.
