If you respect Heller, repealing 2nd won't solve problem. Creative cons judges could just reinterpret other const clauses to stop gun laws.https://twitter.com/DavidLat/status/917063624878850049 …

Heller contradicts the constitutional text and all Supr Court precedent. Why would we think changing the text would matter?

In world where cong supermajority and state leg super-super majority exist to repeal the 2nd amend, you won't have to worry about judiciary.

In fact, in world where 2nd could be repeLed, judiciary will already be so liberal to reinterpret and overturn Hellerz

This actually seems like the most rational position for the Dems to adopt if they adopt one at all.

I think it’s the most intellectually honest. I’m not a Dem, but I do dislike guns & don’t think they deserve constitutional protection.

I'm not suggesting the Democrats oppose the 2nd amendment, I'm saying they should consider supporting a ban on handguns or semiautomatics.

I'd support such a ban as well. But I think we should junk the Second Amendment so we can have reasonable debate on specific proposals.
