There is a place and time for the citizens to take up arms against their government.

The Jews had every moral right to fight for their lives in Europe when the Nazis were slaughtering them by the millions.

Every citizen of an occupied nation was right to combat the new German government.

But only a lunatic would advocate initiating combat against US Armed Forces simply because his views are becoming unpopular among the population at large.

A repeal of the 2'nd will not happen this year or next. My personal prediction is, the 2'nd Amendment might have another fifty years left in it.

But as more lunatics squawk about armed insurrection, the 2'nd amendment becomes less and less popular.

The 18'th Amendment was presented by Congress on 12-18-1917. It was ratified and became law less than 13 months later on 1-16-1919.

The 21'st Amendment, to repeal the 18'th, was presented 2-20-1933. And ratified less than ten months later on 12-5-1933.

Once the tide of public opinion has turned among the majority of American voters. It might take less than a year to repeal the 2'nd Amendment.


People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
