Historically it's been suggested by various congressmen a half dozen times at least. It would have to be passed by both houses of congress and then ratified by 2/3rds of the states. I might be wrong but I doubt it could happen.

He has proposed that same bill every 2 years since 1997, no matter who was president at the time. Even if the bill passed, the president would still have to be reelected every 4 years.Originally posted by Fxstchewy View PostComment

It's only going to get easier for Obummer to be president for life. He has already bought half the voters and in four more years, it will be a landslide... unless he runs out of other people's money too soon! All of the new regulations by EPA and so on will soon be causing the price of EVERYTHING to go up... and there are all of the ... SURPRISE... TAXES hidden in the Obamacare Law that will affect everyone, too!

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
--Thomas Jefferson (1764).Comment

I think it objectionable to pervert the use of the SAS motto! Maybe "Honi soit qui mal y pense" would be better when talking about guns... from the British Loyal Order of the Garter:

That's one of my "favorites"... Oh knee swa key molly ponce! I just love to say that!

You all do know that in order to be an amendment the bill must be proposed, pass both the House and Senate by a two-thirds majority, AND then be ratified by three-fourths majority of the states.
I would not bet that it could pass even the congress. What a waste of time...Comment

OR... our Great Leader (for Life) can just use his imagined power to issue an Edict. He's just too Elite and Intelligent to be constrained by the U.S. Constitution... and a timid Congress!
I get angrier every time I see that one A-H say "you don't need an assault rifle to shoot a duck"!
The Second Amendment was never about hunting or sporting use of firearms. It's about self-protection... and a so-called "assault weapon" might be very handy to defend yourself against BG's so armed... OR a tyrannical central government trying to confiscate your defensive firearms... JUST AS OUR FOREFATHERS ENVISIONED and TRIED TO PREVENT with the U.S. Constitution AND the Bill Of Rights! The CONSTITUTION was written to PROTECT the PEOPLE FROM the D@MN GOVERNMENT... not to limit the freedom of law-abiding citizens!
