If the truth makes you sick, you must be a liberal, and if you don’t like the Second Amendment, repeal it, if you’re not too lazy.

I can help with this.

Here is a proposed 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution:

1) The Second Amendment is herby repealed.
2) A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State but being too dangerous to permit, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall be infringed.

The point, of course, is that repealing the Second Amendment does not eliminate an unalienable right.

(Similarly, no decision by the Supreme Court can create one.)

The evil of human slavery in the U.S. was not eliminated by Constitutional Amendment, but by a Civil War which cost the lives of half a million people.

A civil war fought over the right to keep and bear arms could be incredibly more costly.
