(3,813 posts)Clearly, we have some big hurdles. I posit that getting corporate money out of politics, declaring that corporations do NOT share the rights of people, better protecting the rights of workers to organize, codifying reproductive freedoms for women, ensuring universal and quality healthcare, demanding that Congress take steps to impeach Supreme Court Justices when they are clearly derelict in their duties and/or violate their oaths to uphold the Constitution (e.g - Thomas with respect to health care, all of the majority in Citizens United, etc.) and many other steps would improve this country much more than taking away any right, however 'outdated.'
It seems impossible now, when Congress can't seem to do the slightest worthwhile thing, but there are only really two choices: improve society, or society collapses. I choose the former. If you think that repealing the Second Amendment would improve things, you are welcome to try. I don't happen to share this goal though.
