Gun Control & RKBA

(4,462 posts)Huh? Your really need to get out more, or "liberal" doesn't mean what you think it means. Besides the fact that you are not judge and jury of who is a true liberal, the fact that you are participating in this forum is ample evidence of liberals who both own and carry firearms. Heck, although I personally don't own any firearms, I know quite a few very liberal Democrats here in NYC who own guns for a variety of reasons, albeit they rarely talk about it because of attitudes like yours in many Democratic circles. Nevertheless, the polls, votes in Congress and various statehouses, and court decisions, speak for themselves.
If you believe that our Constitution needs some "serious updates," note we have amended it 27 times, and there are multiple mechanisms to do detailed in the document.
If you would like to repeal or update the Second Amendment, you need only convince two-thirds of both Houses of Congress and three-quarters of the states, or convince the states of the need both for a Constitutional Convention and the wisdom of eliminating the RKBA. I would note that this would have no effect on the various state constitution analogs to the Second Amendment.
Good luck with that...
