Is it moral to inhibit in this way the power of the country’s elected representatives to provide for the public safety? Does the threat of tyranny, a legitimate 18th-century concern but an increasingly remote, fanciful possibility in the contemporary United States, trump the grisly, daily reality of gun violence? The answer to each of these questions is no. It is time to face reality. If the American people are to confront this scourge in any meaningful way, then they must change. The Constitution must change. The American people should repeal the Second Amendment.]]>Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:05:33 -0500<![CDATA[Erika Johnsen]]>https://hotair.com/headlines/2013/02/20/repeal-the-second-amendment-2-n100288
