I kind of wish they would go for the whole shebang. Weapon bans, mag bans, registration, confiscation, etc.
That way, people would finally come to realize the actual end goal of gun grabbers and stop saying, "Well, a UBC wouldn't be too much of an inconvenience..." and other similar bs.
UBC this year.
Registration five years from now.
Confiscation five years later.
On and on...

Not a "bad" idea ! A blatent confrontation and constitutionally-authorized convention might eliminate this constant "pecking away" incrementalization of the abrogation of our constitutionally- guaranteed rights ! >MW

It helps to understand some about the "Bill of Rights" in context to the Constitution. The "rights" aren't rights granted by the amendments to the constitution, at least not in the minds of the original framers. The rights are natural rights, and the BOR amendments are the "negative rights" Obama has mentioned on occasion. They aren't things granted to the citizens, but things forbidden to the government. (Shall not infringe) In the minds of the original framers repealing the 2nd amendment doesn't repeal the citizen's natural right to bear arms. But try to explain that to zealot.
No, they don't want to do away with guns. Some peace-nik new age meditation guru types probably want to get rid of guns. And honestly if Peace could rule the planets and however the rest of that lovely song went I might even support it too. But the gun grabbers don't want to get rid of guns. They want guns, but they don't want us to have guns.
And the folks at CNN think they'll always be the favored lap dogs of the power elite.

They're entitled to my opinion.

The old "Bill of Privileges" which the government can take away when ever it is inconvenient to them or someone else.
If the lefties REALLY want to make the country safer at the expense of inalieanable rights.....they would repeal
The Fourth Amendment - get rid of warrants and the police can search every house and sniff out criminals much easier
The Fifth Amendment - We can keep putting someone on trial until the charges actually stick
Sixth Amendment - let the people who witnessed a crime be the jury....they know what really happened right?
Eighth Amendment - why let people go out on bail...they will just run away.
Seriously...if they think that taking away rights which have been inherent in our government for 230 years is the proper way to make us "safe", then they would get rid of all the rights which creates a revolving door legal system for criminals...if innocent people suffer...hey you have to break some eggs to make an omelette.
Some of the same people who want to take away all guns, even those of the innocent , are out there fighting to have criminals given better care and integrated back in society.

The only thing you left out is something in between registration and confiscation. As with all other western style governments that confiscated their citizens firearms, there was a major tragedy like the one in Newtown. Just like true emotion based gun grabbers they will wait until they can have emotion rule the day over logic and facts.
Additionally I fear all it will take is one appointment to the SCOTUS by Obama or another (D) POTUS to eviscerate the 2A as the Founding Fathers intended it.

Actually that is the legal way, the founders put a system in place that requires a supermajority to make such changes to the constitution. That is much better than trying to work around the constitution to deny you your rights.

I have seen changes in this country that, back in the day, we never would have dreamed.
Never say never. The anti Constitution, anti Freedom group have nothing but time, and they have control of tomorrow's voters, the schools.
I shudder to think about America, fifty years from now.

That's the only honest comment I've heard an anti-gunner make.
If they want gun control, then let them try to repeal the 2nd Amendment. And if they can't, let them shut their pie-holes.

Unfortunately, it is not just CNN or other media. Cable television is business. If they go against 2A, or treat Obama with kids gloves, it is because their viewers like it. A great many do.
Sorry this isn't what you want to hear, but keep blaming the media and you look childish. Blame your fellow citizens, none of whom is reading this to be sure.

I'm sure that David Duke wants to repeal the 13th Amendment too.
Like Klansmen, anti-gunners are malicious fanatics out to do as much harm as the public will permit.
Just say "no" to stupidity and evil.

So you don't believe that propaganda is effective?
Apparently you haven't seen this:
http://conservativevideos.com/2013/...-the-2nd-amendment-confiscate-all-legal-guns/
The solicitor is absolutely clear & truthful as to what they are being asked to sign... and they sign anyway.
They -- and many, many, many more like them -- are in fact brain dead.

There's nothing wrong with proposing changing a constitutional amendment. There is a procedure in place to do just that.
First, an amendment can be proposed by the Congress if two-thirds of the members of both the House of Representatives and the Senate vote in favor of it.
Once an amendment to the Constitution has been proposed, it must be ratified by three-fourths of the legislatures of the states voting in support of it.
If the anti gunners can muster that kind of support, fine. Until then stop infringing on the rights we have.

I was "discussing" the 2A with an acquaintance today and she commented that the only reason there is not an outright gun ban in place already is that the "old male gray haired conservatives have not died off in enough numbers yet". Further she said she feels there will be enough time in this election cycle to "do what is needed" in that respect. She has also commented in the past, until my guns are outlawed she feels she can always call me to arrive with my guns help her if she has trouble with an intruder.:banghead:

I have began to be very careful with the phrase "It will never happen". I felt this way about the recent Presidential election. Color me surprised. I assumed that the people would never elect O again with the unemployment and the spending problems. To say they would never get the 2nd repealed is playing with fire. IMO
Pshhht. I figured the current president would be back in office because all of the important states are blue right now and the republicans drastically underestimated the importance of the hispanic community.

One third of the nation supports making christianity the national religion of the US so it may be easier than you think. Ironically i would venture that quite a few self proclaimed pro-libery constitutionalists are in that third.
Regarding the article, IT IS A COMMENTARY, as it clearly says.
Unfortunately talking head pundits have now largely replaced actual news but that is a trend that the right has nobody to thank but themselves for.
