Not that I necessarily believe that but I do believe repealing the second amendment is the only way it can be done

Back and forth legislation on “assault” rifles isn’t going to work because the modifications are so subtle. It’s almost like designer drugs.

I also think there’s a respectful way to repeal the second amendment that could work. It goes something like this:

Madison wrote the first amendment: speech religion and petition and then the second amendment was for if the first wasn’t honored. After well over two centuries it’s now apparent that the rest of the constitution was so well-written it’s established that armed revolution won’t be necessary.

Make it seem like repealing the second amendment is a way of honoring its author.

I think the gun control movement needs to promote a narrative that bends the dogma of founding father worship in their favor.
