He wants to repeal it

This guy is running for office in California (h/t Snowflakes in Hell). He is unclear on the concept of rights and want to change the right to keep and bear arms into a privelege.

The right to keep and bear arms cannot be repealed.  People in Poland have that right.  People in Kenya, and Myanmar too.  Oh sure their ruling governments might not recognize that right... 

You can write the 2nd out of the Constitution, but you cannot repeal the right.

He dares to compare his impetus to the Suffrage movement, ignoring one little detail.  Suffrage was about expanding rights.  His desire is about quashing rights.

Any other amendments dealing with rights you want to repeal, Mr. Barkley?  The 1st?  The 13th?  The 19th?  Sebastian at Snowflakes doesn't mind him because at least Barkley is open and honest about his perfidy and can thus be properly addressed and opposed.  As for me, Barkley makes me nauseous.  He's a scoundrel, deserving nothing but contempt, and should be constantly watched with a wary eye, like the rest of his ilk.

'Nother guy who knows what's best for us and wants to write a bunch of laws and impose a bunch of taxes that will coerce us into living the way he KNOWS we ought to live - well, except the babies who'd die at taxpayers expense.
He'll most likely be elected.
