1. Repeal and replace it with (1) a complete ban on all guns and (2) confiscation of all current guns

Guns have no place in a modern society. Gundamentalists and 2A addicts can go fuck themselves.

[Renew Deal]

4. Do you fear a tyrannical government?

Or aliens?

[LonePirate]

6. I fear neither.

[hack89]

22. Just who is going to collect those guns?

you really think all those police and politicians in all those pro-gun red states are going to have a change of heart and actually do that?

[Fred Sanders]

2. Enforce the second amendment by enforcing the "A well regulated Militia..."part.

I mean, it is in the same sentence...and is the part missing from the sentence which is etched into the edifice of NRA national HQ.

3. No. Simply interpret as it was written.

membership in a well-regulated militia, in this age the National Guard, should be a pre-requisite for gun training and ownership. And that does not mean that every Guard member could carry a weapon, except on duty.

Single shot long guns could be allowed for hunting, but only after a prospective hunter passed a proficiency test.

5. The problem isnt the second amendment

The problem is the way the extremist insist on interpreting it, and insist that it trumps any other provision in the constitution.

7. repeal the 2nd

Yes. It should be repealed. It's not that someone cannot by a gun, they just have to prove they need it. Unless things have changed, in the UK if you're a farmer and need a rifle to protect your livestock, you have to say, this is why
I need it. If you're in a profession that might call fora need for a firearm, private inquiry agent, maybe government official, you have to prove you need it. If you're a victim of domestic violence or feel you need a gun for protection, you have to explain to the police why you need it. You can't walk down to the corner store, slap down $130 and walk away with an AK 15 or whatever it's called. No one's saying you can't GET a firearm, you just have to prove you need it.

8. "The security of a free State" is the primary purpose of the 2nd Amendment.

Don't we have the armed forces for that?

[Skittles]

9. needs to be updated so VERY STUPID PEOPLE understand it

[lpbk2713]

10. There are many things the FFs did not anticipate.

The 2A is completely archaic and should be abolished in its entirety.

[JoeOtterbein]

11. Yes, cause Guns Suck. n/t

[sarisataka]

12. There is nothing prohibited

By the Second Amendment except a complete ban of firearms. I have often been told such a ban is NRA lies and propaganda; no one serious about gun control wants to ban all guns.

[democratisphere]

13. Gag order.

14. God wrote our Constitution. The Second Amendment is sacred.

Thank God those three-fifths people and women can't vote.

15. Repeal. Period. END.

[Nailzberg]

16. IMO "being necessary to the security of a free state" makes the whole thing junk.

We have a standing army. A civilian militia is no longer necessary to the security of the state.

[scarletwoman]

19. +1000 (nt)

[shanny]

17. No.

Just repealed.

[McCamy Taylor]

18. We should have the right to bear ball and powder muskets.

Founders intention.

[hack89]

21. What do you think the founder thought about gay marriage, abortion

and women voting?

Why do we care that much what they thought, especially since they set up a system that would change as social attitudes changed? What we think is more important.

[world wide wally]

20. Like many good things that were designed with good intentions, the 2A has been abused

Now we will have to get along withou it.

No. YOU fucked it up, gum freaks
