Repealing the Second Amendment would seemingly be an impossible task. But the left will not so easily give up.
But if the Supreme Court’s decision in Obergefell v. Hodges teaches us anything, it’s that the age of judicial supremacy means that five justices can amend the Constitution far more efficiently than Congress and the state legislatures. And right now there are clearly four Supreme Court justices who are committed to the absurd view that the operative clause of the Second Amendment — “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed” — doesn’t actually mean “the right of the people” and therefore doesn’t encompass an individual right to own a weapon, even for self-defense. More of this theory on the next page:

Not legal sorry
Sorry, but they don’t have that authority. If the people have to, we will have a convention of the states and will replace them with something else.
Get ready people
and when the civil war in this country breaks out, I hope you will be pulled from your positions by the people. And replaced with the American Citizen new Government.
That would be bad!
Supreme Court Jesters acting up again.
So what you are saying is were one vote away from civil war?
Even SCOTUS can’t “repeal” an amendment to the constitution. It can be repealed by an ACT OF CONGRESS, signed by POTUS, and RATIFICATION BY THE STATES – both of which require a SUPERMAJORITY, not a SIMPLE MAJORITY.
And, despite the commie/liberal NE and West Coasts – there will NEVER BE A SUPERMAJORITY OF STATES required to effectuate a repeal or subsequent amendment.
Neither can SCOTUS take a decision like HELLER, down off the shelf, and reverse themselves on it, of their own accord.
All y’all “armchair constitutional scholars” should polish up your “google-fu, and learn how this stuff works.
For a case to even be considered by SCOTUS, it has to wind its way up from lower courts (usually state, not even federal), to federal district appeals courts – and rulings are then appealed to SCOTUS – who has the option not to even consider a case (in which case, the decision of the DCA below SCOTUS becomes final).
What becomes “problematic”, is the regulatory authority of POTUS, via BATFE.
Be more afraid of the fact that both Obama and Shrillery have already floated the idea of a “solution” that looks like what Australia and The UK have implemented (countries very similar to ours, according to supposed constitutional scholar Obama) – which was confiscation via a (cough cough) buyback program. The “similarity” ENDS, with the fact that neither of these countries had the right to bear arms enshrined in the very foundations of their laws.
Suggestions like this, beget the question – just what do you have planned for us, that requires you to DISARM US FIRST?
Look more for: harsher regulations, that get challenged in lower courts using Heller – and .gov appealing these decisions all the way up to SCOTUS. At THAT POINT, they get to pull Heller off the shelf, and potentially narrow the currently broad scope of the 2nd Amendment.
They just can’t arbitrarily and unilaterally repeal the 2nd Amendment. They can however, attempt to “re-interpret its scope”, reflective of the particular case argued before it.
Keep in mind – this is all LEFTIST INCITEMENT – so they can try and goad US into shooting first – thereby “justifying” what they’ve been trying to sell all along.
That WE THE PEOPLE, ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH TO BEAR ARMS.
Don’t give them that pleasure.
My God people, the Supreme Court does not have the Ability to repeal any part of the Constitution! Please ignore this kind of scare tactic and plain ignorance!!
