“The state, in its criminal code, forbids citizens to have firearms or other weapons, but does not undertake to defend them.”
— Alexander Solzhenitsyn, _The Gulag Archipelago_ (1975)
Exactly what the Democrats want for the US, and if given the opportunity to erase the 2ndAmendment they would do it in a heartbeat. Right now we're waiting to see if the USSC will uphold the clear intent of the authors in re the 2nd Amendment.
At this point in time an amendment to repeal the 2nd Amendment would not pass either Congress or ratification by the states, but if the Democrats ever get a 2/3 majority in Congress and control of 38 state legislatures they could repeal the 2nd and probably would.
