    They said it would never happen ! Challenge to change the second amendment A2

    Five state senators in Hawaii have introduced a Senate Concurrent Resolution (see below) this week that would ask the U.S. Congress to “consider and discuss whether the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution should be repealed or amended to clarify that the right to bear arms is a collective, rather than individual, constitutional right.”

    Known as SCR42, the resolution includes the following reasoning for repealing or amending the Second Amendment:

    There is considerable debate about whether the Second Amendment creates an individual or a collective right to bear arms.
    In 1939, the U.S. Supreme Court adopted a collective rights approach to the right to possess firearms in United States v. Miller, 307 U.S. 174 (1939).
    In 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court recognized an individual right to possess firearms in District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008).
    When it decided Heller, the U.S. Supreme Court “revitalized the discussion of whether the Second Amendment is a collective or individual constitutional right.”
    There have been “numerous tragic mass shootings at schools, workplaces, and public events [and so] it is necessary to repeal or amend the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.

    Another worthless proclamation.
    There are only 4 ways to amend the constitution.

    (1) Both houses propose an amendment with a two-thirds vote, and three-fourths of the state legislatures approve. Twenty-six of the 27 amendments were approved in this manner.

    (2) Both houses propose an amendment with a two-thirds vote, and three-fourths of the states approve the amendment via ratifying conventions. Only the 21st Amendment, which repealed Prohibition, was passed in this manner.

    (3) Two-thirds of the state legislatures call on Congress to hold a constitutional convention, and three-fourths of the state legislatures approve the amendment.

    (4) Revolution

    Everything else is just claptrap.
    Hillary will NEVER be President
    Obama is a FORMER President
    Joe Biden is in Scranton eating paste.
