It would never happen

It takes a lot to repeal an amendment

More then just a supreme court, the supreme court is not even part of the process

They (BOR) cannot be repealed, they are declatory and restrictive.

The BOR simply affirms God Given rights and prohibits the government.

If they were subject to repeal, then the notion of God Given is void, ergo the whole thing goes up in smoke....no longer do we have a constitution or country.

Right, but a real threat does come from the Supreme Court. All it would take is a majority to decide that the 2A was meant to protect not the rights of the individual, but the rights of the states to form militias.

So there still would be a 2A; it just would be an empty shell, devoid of any real meaning. Just like the 10A is today.
