I see your point, and anyone who opposes 2nd amendment, can just gnash their teeth as it is not going away ever.

I hope you're right. But can't help but wonder how many thought the same thing about the 18th amendment.

The more I think about the issue, the more I realize that the ban of semi automatic rifles will not work at all, as not all of them will be prohibited.

Kudos for publicly admitting it.

The best odds then are mandatory back ground checks for every purchase, and some limits on household with felons and mentally ill.

Good that you've finally come around. As for "limits" on household with felons and mentally ill" I don't understand this. If you live in a household that has a felon or a mentally ill patient, then you should simply not be able to obtain one (a semi auto).

But guns are banned in Chicago, and it's illegal for a felon to own a gun at all. I'm shocked at the disregard career criminals have for the law. Obvioulsly we need more laws, more restrictions, more bans. That'll learn'em.

But is it fair to prevent, let's say a woman, from owning a fire arm just because one of her siblings is a felon or mentally ill? She might need an ability to protect her life as well.

18th was an ill conceived, short term effort.

2nd is in DNA of our nation for over 200 years.

Futurecurrents,

Are you in favor to repeal 2nd amendment?

If she chooses to live with a felon or has the misfortune to have someone in her household classified as mentally ill, then yes. I am ok with it. If she needs protection, then she should save her money and spend it on a nice security system, dog and taser.

Or limit her to a shotgun.
