[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3464687, member: 10465"] True. But it's actually more difficult than that to change, or amend the Constitution. The process requires that an amendment either be proposed by Congress with a 2/3 majority vote in [I]both [/I]the House [I]and [/I]the Senate, or by a constitutional convention called for by 2/3 of the States (State Legislatures). In order to become a part of the U.S. Constitution, it must then be ratified by 3/4 of the states. (currently 38 of 50 states). If the progressives get their wish and are able to bring say...Puerto Rico and The Swamp (Washington DC) into the Union as States, that could somewhat shift things in their favor. There are other territories as well to consider which could shift power , such as Guam and the U.S. Virgin islands. It's actually not feasible, at least not in my mind as of today, that the 2A could be actually [I]changed[/I] by either amendment or omission. As [USER=29]@1shott[/USER] states above, a change of that magnitude will meet with strong resistance. What is more concerning to me is that the [I]interpretation [/I]of the 2A is ultimately left to the Court. As it stands today, we are at no real risk of it being swept away, but...if the Dems manage to stack the Supreme Court, and gain an upper hand, then the way in which the 2A is [I]interpreted[/I] could radically change. It could be as simple as that. Unlikely, however. I too have hope and faith in the future of the Nation; we will NOT be taken easily like sheep to the slaughter. [/QUOTE]
