Uh it's completely possible to repeal an amendment

Prohibition wasn't a part of the Bill of Rights. You'd never realistically be able to just repeal the second amendment.

you can repeal any part of the constitution you want.
it may never happen, certainly no one in congress is willing to do it.
but if enough people wanted to do it they could.
Technically you can't repeal any amendments, but what you can do is create another amendment that overrides the previous amendment. The 2nd Amendment will always be there, but if the 28th Amendment says the 2nd Amendment is invalid, then it is.
And yet I will still go and buy my guns the way I want them no matter what the law says or not.
Pinnacle of feel-good bills. I'm surprised they even know enough about guns to know what the scary bits are called.
I'm struggling to think of more than a handful of guns that doesn't come under those.
[QUOTE=BlazeFresh;39638918]banning assault weapons wont do a thing, criminals will get these guns from other places if they want them[/QUOTE]
What will us good honest criminals now do? Steal the guns? Pha.
[editline]Now[/editline]
To me it seems like a lot of those could have been replaced with: [I]any shotgun[/I].
But I find what they call assault weapons really dumb.
What if I were to attack anyone with a knife, or a brick?

Probably google.
Same old AWB, Same old simple closed minded people backing it.
Can we stop with the whole 'protect the childrun!' bullshit now? All it's doing is causing moderate democrats to become independents or republicans, and causing republicans to get digged in.
good to know my nugget and No.4 Mk.1 are safe
[QUOTE=BlazeFresh;39639107]exactly, so this ban has no affect other than stripping the general public of their firearms. And what i was getting at was that in the case that a criminal [I]did[/I] want an AR-15, they could just get one regardless of a ban or not.[/QUOTE]
This is what all of us have been saying since Sandy hook, but all of us were dismissed as "right-wingers" or conspiracy theorists.
As for this bill, well.. needless to say I hope it crashes and burns. I hope those gun grabbing idiots get what's coming to them.
[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;39640847]then lets ban handguns too
i'm all for it[/QUOTE]
If you can figure out a way to make it so illegal handguns disappear into thin air without affecting people who own them legally and use them safely, then I would be all for it. Until you get your magic level to 600, I'm gonna pass on any gun guns.

Okay then your 1st Amendment rights are now gone, if you say anything bad about the government you go to prison now.
Your 6th Amendment rights are gone too, so you're not getting a trial, you're just going to prison straight away. Hell, maybe you didn't criticize anyone at all, maybe you know someone who really really hates you and manages to convince an officer that you've been saying these things.
Your 4th Amendment rights are also gone so your bank accounts have been seized and your property put up for auction, you're in prison now so you don't need any of that.
Your 3rd Amendment rights are also gone, if your house is particularly valuable it will be used to house soldiers and/or officers.
Your 7th Amendment rights are also gone, so don't expect humane living conditions or treatment in prison, you'll only be getting stale bread and water every day until you die or old age or are killed by the guards or your fellow inmates. If your warden has a particularly twisted sense of humor and a mind for history and you'll be put aboard an old decommissioned navy ship and pretty much left for dead.
Maybe if you're really really good they'll let you out and if you remain obedient and productive you'll be taken care of.
Good thing we have some people who respect the rights of others.
