The Queen of Battle, and her modern descendants, are the birth-right of every American.
“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force: Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.” – Patrick Henry
My conscience, and the urgency of our current situation, compel me to speak out. The victim disarmament freaks are now telling us that they don’t want to disarm us- oh, no! They just want to take away our “assault weapons” – our semi-automatic, magazine fed, military-style rifles – and the “high capacity” magazines that feed them. They want us to believe that so long as we can own some kind of firearm, after our semi-auto military rifles are taken, we are not disarmed. That is a LIE.
The truth is that our semi-automatic, military pattern rifles are the single most important kind of arm we can own, and are utterly necessary for effective defense of our lives, property, and liberty. When you are disarmed of your military rifles, you are DISARMED. At that time, the lion’s share of your military capacity to effectively resist tyranny is removed (yes, accurate bolt action hunting rifles are useful in that role too, but the semi-auto battle rifle is truly the Queen of battle, as Col. Jeff Cooper correctly noted). It is a significant force on the battlefield, and as Patrick Henry said, when you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined...

So they take an oath to defend the Constitution, but cry when there is public support for Constitutionally repealing an amendment?
They don't really understand what the Constitution is, do they?

It is irrelevant if there is "public support to repeal the 2nd amendment." This fallacy that "we are a democracy" is ridiculous. Some things cannot be voted on in our republic, our natural born rights happen to be one of those things.
Now, which is being AMERICAN, and which is being a stubborn child?

778,000 results is a few articles?
If you'd read those articles, you'd see legal avenues being pursued to reach the goal of repealing the 2nd amendment.
The pro-gun crowd says stuff like "come get my gun, I dare you."

If all you need is public support to take away a person's natural, born rights, then why stop with guns?
Let's raise support to take away your home, and your car, and your right to free speech.
I never said we live in a democracy.
Natural born rights, except for y'know... letting blacks be considered citizens or allowing women to vote.
Oh, those natural born rights weren't in the OG Constitution?
The Constitution is a living document, and susceptible to alteration. It's time to get rid of guns

So you think a google search is a poll? LOL! You don't know the content of all those results so you have no idea how many of them call for repeal or are against or are just repeats of the same article or not even related as goodgle tends to do after the first couple pages.etc.
There is only one legal avenue for repealing an amendment as I have stated twice now. Also as I said it ain't going to happen and all the polls show the American people are against it. But I'll chime ins and say the same; Come get them" Just try it! Now go tell your boss it ain't working they are not getting the guns except a few inches at a time...
