The 2nd Amend is not being repealed. Nor is the electoral college. You would require const amends to do so. What we need is re-enactment of the assault weapons ban, uni bg checks, & closing of the gun show loophole. There are millions of responsible gun owners in this country 1/
& gun ownership has been deemed a fundamental right under the constitution by SCOTUS. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have reasonable checks and safeguards in place which even Scalia agreed with. We are one nation and within this Republic of ours, we need to be tolerant of 2/
differing viewpoints and opinions. Conservatives aren’t evil, nor are liberals but there are intolerant and uncompromising people on both sides of the aisle which is a problem and is a part of the reason we are where we are today. Zero Sum Game causes the political pendulum 3/
to swing from far left to far right tearing the fabric of our nation apart into literal warring factions. Can you imagine one day going from abusive Robber-Baron capitalism to a socialism economy depending upon who’s in power? Our nation wouldn’t last more than a few 5/
electoral cycles before we’d have civil war which is exactly what our enemies want. We have to get back to centrist politics which still can mean universal health care & being fiscally responsible. X
