Make no mistake about it, in the hands of the American left, the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is not safe. For that matter, virtually nothing wise or precious or sacred or holy or otherwise good is safe with those corrupted by a liberal worldview. Whether marriage, the family, the church, life in the womb, education, small businesses, fossil fuels, law enforcement, the military, the Constitution, and so on, time and again liberals have proven themselves to be on the wrong side of the truth.
What’s more, in the hands of today’s leftists, the Second Amendment—and anything else in the U.S. Constitution with which modern liberals are unhappy—is in jeopardy whether or not it is “repealed.” As most now well know, John Paul Stevens—a retired associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court—recently gave his direct endorsement to the shockingly foolish—but increasingly popular among democrats—idea that the Second Amendment should be repealed...
For two centuries the “right” to healthcare, housing, a “living wage,” marriage, education, and the like, escaped the vast majority of Americans—including our politicians and jurists...
Nevertheless, in recent decades, as they increasingly made a god of government and sought to build a massive welfare state (through which votes could be purchased), democrats and those like-minded have fully embraced the notion of “paternal care on the part of the government.”

Ignore the 2nd amendment and you will have a revolution. Just ask King Charles.
When I left my parents home 40 years ago I wasn’t looking for government care and I won’t be looking for or accepting any for the rest of my life.
That attitude is sorely missing across the U.S. today.
It’s silly to think that any significant number of states would ratify such an Amendment.
And enforcement? Forget about it. It would be a bloodbath and the government would give up quicker than We The people would give up.
Likewise.
Never taken nor will take the government dime.
I’m ok with the government dime being there for the TRULY needy, but that’s like 3% of the people who take it.
Liberals want to repeal the 1st amendment too. They want to control information and the public discourse with an iron hand, or fist if they have power.

Absolutely agree 100%.
Yeah, it’s a pipe dream, and like the author noted, not really necessary for devoted leftists.
Liberals want power, pure and simple. Whatever stands in their way of that is a target.
Because their ignoring it does not stop the sale. By repealing it they could stop the sale of guns, and more importantly the sale of ammunition, or any product that could be used to create ammunition.
Thomas Jefferson: “And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms… The tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
1. Separation of Church and State;
and
2. The unfettered right to an abortion.
Neither of which are even in the Constitution. So in other words you are saying that they do not believe in the Constitution at all, and I must agree. 8>)

IMO, the issue isn’t *you* were(n’t) looking (Lord knows ther are plenty that do/are). The issue is they SHOULDN’T BE THERE.
Excellent point!
Strange how the liberals had 8 years under Obama to change the law and didn’t and now expect someone else to do it so they can pass the blame on them for the deadly outcome.
3. The right of Larry anf Harry to pretend to marry.

Disagree. Govt has neither the ability, nor capacity to 1) determine ‘need’ 2) bestow ‘charity’.
For EVERYTHING govt ‘has’ is a product of the work of another. What govt bestows it has taken from someone else.
YOU, or a group, wish to write a check, give voluntarily....have at it.
But there is *NOTHING* by govt that doesn’t come from being TAKEN by POWER\point of a gun.
