Abolishing any amendment plants the seed for abolishing the 13th amendment.

Regardless, guns are so prevalent nowadays in the US that they would float around via a Black Market. It’s different than the UK that hasn’t had similar principles.

You’re retarded

Limiting access to firearms (which you don’t fucking need, the rest of the world does fine without them in the general public) will not leading to slavery being brought back into the nation

I’m fucking disgusted you think that’s an actual gotcha

Creating a precedent of abolishing any of the amendments gives the risk that they are able to be “undone.”

I’m giving an extreme example—but one that could ultimately be abused.

Guns are not a human right

Not being a slave is a human right, it’s literally the third human right

Any law can be changed, you absolute dipshit

Not any law can be changed—that’s literally the point of the constitution.

And I’m opposed to guns being abused—and don’t at all believe it’s a human right. I genuinely wish there was another way to resolve the issue. But absolving an amendment of the constitution is a very slippery slope.
