Gun lovers - what would you do if the Constitution were legally amended to ban private ownership of guns? Keep in mind that many of you support the Constitution, or even swore to uphold it.
There's no reason it couldn't happen, if the zeitgeist changed. There was an amendment to ban alcohol, and then later the amendment was amended.
To remain free, I would never turn in my firearms.
Besides protecting my family, I feed my family with them.
Just like when alcohol was banned, there would be a bloody war on law enforcement, that was trying to confiscate it.
This the reason another amendment to make it legal again.

Not currently, I can name 19 states who would vote against any such measure, that's 7 more than needed to defeat the amendment, and it's being very rough on certain states (like Ohio I suspect they'd vote against it, but I'm not positive).
Furthermore regardless of the intention of any such amendment, the States may view this as a FedGov attempt to overrule State rights, and therefore legislatures may move against it. There is not a lot of good will between the States Governments and Federal Government at the moment.
There could never have been an amendment to ban alcohol. That's ridiculous, everyone drank.
This is a hypothetical situation. Please either play or go find another thread, those of you who keep saying only that "it couldn't happen".
I guess gun owners see nothing about this as play....I know I don't.
