But it’s not hard to recognize the immense challenges facing an outright repeal of the 2nd amendment. In fact, it’s absurd not to look at what would need to be done if only to plan a strategy.
Republicans successfully repealed RvW not in a year, not in a decade; they’ve been maneuvering the supreme court and gerrymandering and stacking courts for decades. OK, maybe not exclusively for repealing RvW, but it was a major force, and they knew it’d require stacking the supreme court with activist conservative judges. I don’t think even Reagan considered overturning election results and instituting a dictatorship when they started this; it was really about abortion, and only when Trump rolled around and conservatives looked at what they could do with what they’d achieved did they start looking beyond RvW. That was long range planning and consistent application of a plan; that’s what would be needed to repeal the 2nd.
The obstacles have been succinctly outlined; it’s idiocy to ignore the facts and believe you can change things by wishing hard enough, or by blaming the President because he hasn’t waved his all-powerful magic wand and made it happen. Idiocy, and laziness.
