“Trump went on to explain that the right to keep and bear arms is a right that pre-exists both the government and the Constitution, noting that government didn’t create the right, nor can it take it away.”
Exactly.
I find any attempt to "repeal" the 2nd Amendment as constitutionally impossible.
Neither the 2nd nor any other amendment in the Bill of Rights "granted" any right to the people. The BOR was merely a recognition and guarantee of those rights which the people had simply by virtue of the fact that they were Humans. Such intrinsic rights were accepted as “the given” in the political philosophy of the Founders.
The rights which the Founders knew they did not possess the power to grant --- but could only guarantee would be respected and preserved ---- most certainly are beyond the rightful power of any government to cancel or "repeal".
The only "repeal" of an Amendment was the repeal of Prohibition, the 18th Amendment, by the 21st. That was correcting the error of an usurpation of the rights of the people, committed at the behest of a self-righteous, self-anointed elite group who felt superior to their fellow citizens, and believed they knew what was best for all the people.
Sounds familiar, doesn't it Obama, Hillary, “Chuckie”, et al.?
