The Vice Chair of Civic Engagement and Voter Participation of the Democratic National Committee has called for the repeal of the Second Amendment.
Louisiana Democratic Party Chairwoman Karen Carter Peterson on Tuesday issued a four-word tweet as she shared a link to a New York Times op-ed written by former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens that advocated for the Second Amendment’s repeal.
“Repeal the Second Amendment,” she tweeted.

Completely repealed, no. But I think it is entirely reasonable to say that the 2nd needs to be clarified and expanded upon to be very specific.
I would think a 2nd amendment advocate would support such a thing because, as we have seen throughout many years, it is that the lack of clarity in the 2nd amendment that have given courts the fuel to say that it is within the power of the states to regulate arms as they so choose.
Remember, the constitution limits what the federal government can do and all other powers are relegated to the states. Which actually leads to our right being infringed upon, over and over.
My fellow 2nd amendment supporters cannot seem to grasp that for some reason.
That was all blatant sarcasm to prove a point!
Seig Heil!

I think you forgot to hint at what your point was and how it relates to what I posted.
Seig Heil!
Was that sarcasm as well, or were you just practicing?

That is not a very good argument. An anti-2nd advocate could easily tear that to pieces. Your right to defend yourself is not defendant upon a right to bear arms.
We need to come up with better arguments and prepare pro-2nd supporters to intelligently articulate their rights.
As of now, it's pathetic and embarrassing.
