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.

It takes 38 states to enact an amendment. It only takes 12 small red states to block it. That applies whether it's passed by congress or by a convention of the states.
The Equal Rights Amend failed to get enough states before the deadline set by congress. Several states have approved it since the deadline to get it over the 38 but it's a dead issue unless congress tries again. Idaho initially passed it before really looking at it. Then they voted to rescind the vote. Some from liberal states say a state can't change it's mind but the constitution doesn't say that.
If repealing the 2d ever gets into congress, you can bet that they won't set a deadline this time. They'll keep alive for 100 years if necessary.

The country doesn't have 50 years left in it as we know it and we'll all be dead before then. But thanks for the Debbie Downer post of the day!

Who’s advocating initiating combat against the US Armed Forces?

Got any references to support your assertion that the 2nd amendment is losing popularity? After Heller and New York, firearms liberties are at the highest level they’ve been since Jefferson was President.

Read between the lines of the 2'nd and 3'rd post in this thread. And a whole lot more on this august forum.

Give our media and school system another twenty years of indoctrination. Let 90% of the guys participating on this forum, and others like it, die. Then you can poll the remaining Americans and see just how important they judge the 2'nd in its current form.

The same thing the liberal scum did in every other nation on Earth after they outlawed private ownership of weapons.

They killed those who did not comply. And those who did not own weapons, or did comply said they had it coming.

I doubt they would be able to carry that out...like they did in days past.

Gun owners tend to be more in touch with history than non-gun owners. Just my opinion. I’m not giving them up. Are you?

Our once great nation, our Constitutional Republic, is rotting from within. Just like every other great and small nation has throughout history.

From. Within.

The armed forces all vowed to uphold the constitution.Shooting at or disarming the citizenry isn't going to fly with them.
