If the interpretation of the 2nd and it’s “well regulated militia” is that anybody, anywhere at anytime can have as many types and amounts of guns as anyone would ever want then yes, it should be repealed.
No it should not. And quit trying to take my rights away.
Shall we talk about the history of limiting the access to guns in this country? Anyone realize that there was a time when black people were not allowed to have guns? Even free black people? There is a long, long history of having limits on gun ownership. And, yet... the Second Amendment is still here. Miraculous!
Yes! I have many slaves. Would you like to drop by the plantation for a Mint Julep?
Stupid question.
It's called exasperated sarcasm.
I think our constitution was designed to be a living document. To evolve. The second amendment is no longer relevant, except as a money machine for the gun industry.

If it is no longer relevant why are we still arguing about it? Seems pretty relevant to me.......
Pretty scary. I find myself in agreement with you. Interestingly enough, Condoleeze Rice shares my feeling - I'm not exactly sure what you have in mind, so I won't presume anything.
Condy and I (we're best friends, now) believe that semiautomatic weapons should not be made available to civilians. So in our mind the second amendment stays, weapons that can be rapidly fired and reloaded would go.

"I don’t understand why civilians need to have access to military weapons. We wouldn’t say you can go out and buy a tank," Ms Rice told Hugh Hewitt, an American radio talk show host. ”So I do think we need to have that conversation.”
