“Agree. Rove wasn’t advocating that the 2nd Amendment “should” be rescinded. He merely state the fact that in order to eliminate private ownership of firearms the constitution must amended. And, that ain’t gonna happen anytime soon.”
Yes. However, Rove is WRONG if he thinks that even with a 2nd Amendment repeal, and confiscation of all legal guns, that gun crime, or any crime, would cease. It would GROW ENORMOUSLY. That is a historical fact, not a guess.
I don’t recall Rove stating that “crime would cease”. I think his point was that without a constitutional Ammendment a gun grab would be illegal. And, his inference was (he should have stated) was thereby it ain’t gonna happen.
