Can somebody introduce legislation to knock hawaii back to a non voting territory?
No need. Just let the new green deal go through and they'll have to submit legislation by canoe.
SCOTUS has already clarified in 2008 that the right to keep and bear arms is an individual, and not a collective, right.The legislators in question need to have Heller explained to them.
Play along with me. Say they are successful at calling a Constitutional Convention and successfully propose repeal of 2A. Can they get a majority of voters in 33 individual states (2/3 majority) to vote in favor of this and amend the Constitution?
HA needs its independence again more active volcanos.
. . . Far too many Nearly all of our politicians are feckless, greedy, power hungry pieces of *expletive deleted*it that would sell their souls for the right reward. All the while selling the rest of the country down the river. . . .
That's what bothers me about a constitutional convention. I have no illusions that the results would be the libertarian wet dream come true that it gets touted to be. My belief is that we would end up with a very European Union-esque constitution. Far too many of our politicians are feckless, greedy, power hungry pieces of *expletive deleted*it that would sell their souls for the right reward. All the while selling the rest of the country down the river.We don't need a new constitution, we need to enforce the one we have.
Amend or repeal the 2A, and you establish a precedent that the ENTIRE Bill of Rights may be abolished.
