(8,790 posts)First we'll have to call for a Constitutional Convention. It will be impossible to keep the Convention to one point, the Second Amendment, in this case. It will turn into an instant shit-show where every group in America proposes something they have a gripe about. Every option will be on the table, abortion, marriage, every frigging tax ever and the IRS in particular, will all go through the ringer.
Once that dust is settled and some kind of list of changes is approved, then the states have to ratify it, which can take years. Then more procedures in DC before the new amendments become reality in the Constitution.
At the end of it all, we'd have a very different America than we have now and there's a good chance the Second Amendment would never get touched.
Are you ready for that kind of a slog?
