Poll question: Whoa! It's gun night on DU. OK, voting is only for those supporting repeal of the 2ed Amend.
If a deal could be struck between those opposing 2ed amendment rights and the evangelical wing of the GOP to get the following would you support it.


28th Amendment

Remove the line "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" from the first amendment and remove the second amendment. Private ownership of arms is is hereby prohibited.

1. Are there really people who want to repeal the 2nd Amendment?
Or are there simply people who are in favor of gun-control laws? (Admittedly, I haven't been online today, so I haven't seen the fuss, but I'm a little surprised by this assertion. I'll take a look around and see what's up.)

2. Why don't we just burn the constitution

3. My opinion exactly
Screwing with the Constitution is getting into very dangerous territory.

6. The effect of that purposed Amendment would be
to turn this country into a place where your "Right" to shoot someone who does not believe in your "Sky Pilot" is uncontested.

No thanks, if I want that, I'll move to Iraq.
