Could the 2nd Amendment be abolished?


Don't think an executive order could cancel the rights of natural born US citizens? It's already happened: 9066.
 

The way the Bill of Rights (first 10 Amendments) is applied (incorporated) by the individual States is supposedly clarified by Section 1 of the 14th Amendment (Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws). See also Link Removed. However the legal battles have raged on since 1833 on just how to apply the 14th Amendment. The Obama Administration's gross abuse of the Commerce Clause of the 14th Amendment is a good example. They used this to justify the insurance mandate of Obamacare which surely should not be protected by the Commerce Clause. We'll know when the Supreme Court hears case this next spring.
 
Which part of "shall not be infringed" is so difficult to understand?
GG
Obviously it's EXTREMELY difficult to understand, considering it's been "infringed" upon over 25,000 times. Where was everyone hiding those 25,000 times? Ignorance abounds and talk is cheap, always has been, always will be.
 
With all due respect, how many times have you prophesized similar scenarios in the past only to see them not come to fruition?? No offense but you and several others sound like those doomsday groups who continually predict the end of the world only to see their "day of reckoning" come and go without incident.

Not a prophesy,just an opinion of what could happen. I don't subscribe to "doomsday" groups nor would attempt to predict the future.
 
If the next supreme court appointment is under Obama, then the court could overturn the 5-4 voting in support of 5-4 against gun laws. While they can't change the constitution, they can change the interpretation of the law. Better join NRA and read up on the things that could really impact your right to carry or even have a gun

It's not like likely that the next SCOTUS appointment will be under Obama unless we fail to vote him out. The oldest Justice is Ruth Bader Ginsgurg age 78. She's survived two bouts with pancreatic cancer and has vowed to go a few more years. Justice Stephen Breyer, who is the peremmial swing vote has been urged to retire but has shown no indication of doing so. Often, he sides with the conservatves. Let's just hope that nobody retires until we vote Obama out.

I always believe that even the members of the SCOTUS should have term limits.
 
Lots of repliers quote the law, the constitution's words, the bill of rights words etal. The problem is that the current king in the whitehouse DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE WORDS OR THE LAWS. He circumvents with his czars, with timely executive orders etc etc and is continually doing whatever he wants regardless of the law. He has even been quoted as saying or alluding to the his way of thinking that congress and the supreme court are irrelevant. This man is as close to being a dictator as this country has ever seen and he is not a benevolent dictator he is a sleazy, chicago socialist/communist surrounded by henchmen who want to destroy the system and rebuild it in their image (only FDR and Lincoln came somewhat close--but that was wartime). So don't hang your hat on our laws as reasons nothing can happen. They can and they have all around the world as little piles of excrement think they do not smell and are a gift to their country.
 
These famous words come to my head:

"Ill give you my gun when you pry it from my cold dead hands"

Exactly... the U.S. gov't can abolish the ****** out of the 2nd Amend. if they want, but they'll get my guns while standing over my dead body pulling my rifle from my cold dead hands.
