Remember they are not trying to take your guns™.

Of course, if they are not, why do they want to repeal the Second Amendment?

This is the difference in mindset that makes compromise impossible.  Our bill of rights is a charter of Negative Rights.  Negative Rights, in the words of Justice Brandeis is the right “to be let alone.”

It was for this reason that I refused to support a Constitutional Amendment defining marriage.  The Constitution of the United States should never be used to limit the rights of the people.

There are only two Amendments to the Constitution that do not limit the power of the government and instead limit the rights of the people.  They are the 16th Amendment which created the income tax and 18th Amendment which created prohibition.  Both were passed under President Woodrow Wilson during an age of rampant progressivism.

A repeal of the Second Amendment would require another Amendment, and would be the third to limit the rights of the people and expand the power of the goverment.

This is the point at which any compromise fails.  Either you believe that the Constitution of the United States is for limiting the powers of the government or the rights of the people.

Anybody who thinks that repealing the Second Amendment is a good idea has taken as side against the people.  Which is why they want to take your guns.

Progressive Democrats, limiting your rights for over 100 years.
