His theory is that the Left doesn't want a compromise, they want a total ban - hand in your weapons and they think the teenager marches are giving the cause more momentum than they have ever had before -strike while the iron is hot.
I think I agree with that theory. And at this point they can't take it back.

Interesting legal theory; I doubt it would derail a legitimately passed Constitutional Amendment but formally making the argument would definitely raise the stakes, perhaps to the Constitutional Convention level.jdege wrote:Ghost wrote:I believe a repeal of the 2nd would cause states to succeeed from the Union and we know how that turned out last time.
I'm not the only person here, I think, who considers the ratification of the Constitution as whole to have been contingent upon the passage of a Bill of Rights. A Repeal of any part of the BoR is tantamount to repealing the entire thing.
