lawrocket 3 #2 December 26, 2012 QuoteSeriously can it? Would it be possible for the 2nd Amendment to be removed? Yes. The 2nd Amendment is an Amendment - not there with the original Constitution. But Amending is really difficult - as it should be. Any Amendment can be removed by amendment. IT's happened before (amendment to Constitution was taken out by subsequent amendment).

wolfriverjoe 1,329 #3 December 26, 2012 QuoteSeriously can it? Would it be possible for the 2nd Amendment to be removed? Is it possible? Sure. The amendment process allow for it. Don't forget the 18th Amendment which prohibited alcohol, and the 21st which revoked the 18th. But the amendment process is pretty involved. And many states have a "right to keep and bear arms" in their state constitution. Which would make the process a huge, complicated mess."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

Skyrad 0 #4 December 26, 2012 Does State Constitution overrule the US Constitution? I wonder as seeing as BHO doesn't have to worry about being re elected if he might try to amend the 2nd? I don't know how long it would take but he has four years.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

lawrocket 3 #5 December 26, 2012 QuoteDoes State Constitution overrule the US Constitution? The 14th Amendment says it doesn't. Federal wins QuoteI wonder as seeing as BHO doesn't have to worry about being re elected if he might try to amend the 2nd? From a purely technical standpoint, the president has ZERO involvement with Amendment. No veto power, etc. SO he can propose all he wants but has no legla say. My wife is hotter than your wife.

matthewcline 0 #13 December 26, 2012 Doesn't the 14th also state that no State can make a law in violation of Individual Rights? or words to that degree? MattAn Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #14 December 26, 2012 It used to be that the Constitution was viewed as he floor fo rights for the Federal government. So while the feds couldn't censor speech, states could. Then the 14th Amendment came along. States agreed to it. So they were bound. But it wasn't actually something that happened until less than a century ago when the SCOTUS began to announce the incorporation doctrine. It wasn't until 2010 that the SCOTUS officially incorporated the Second Amendment. A pretty good discussion is on Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incorporation_of_the_Bill_of_Rights My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
