A simple poll on the second amendment.

In light of the Michigan shooter, I wondered where we all are right now.

46 votes, 6 passes \| Time left: Unlimited
	The second amendment in its present form should be repealed and either discarded or modified.
	36 (78%)
	The second amendment in its present form is just fine and it should remain.

The first question seems a bit vague. Perhaps change this to 1 repealed or 2 left alone.

Couldn't vote for the first option because it allows for discarding 2A.

Constitutional law applying to all states is necessary for effective gun control. 2A needs to be modified, not discarded.

Anyone could have predicted the result, which will have no impact whatsoever on changing or eliminating it.
