Repeal the second?
TNR:
It’s true that repealing the Second Amendment is politically impossible right now; that doesn’t bother me. It should be hard to take away a constitutional right. And it is certainly easier to pretend that’s not what we’re proposing–that the Founders never created the right and that our values and theirs (except, of course, concerning slavery, women, Native Americans, and a few other odds and ends) are more or less congruent. It’s a lot simpler to pretend that Silberman–but not, of course, Tribe, Amar, or Levinson–is a dangerous radical. But it’s not healthy. We should seek gun control and a Constitution that means something.

The 2nd Amendment, like the others, does not grant the right, it merely recognizes the NATURAL right.

I second Darrell’s comment. The Founding Fathers didn’t “create” the right, the merely recognized it as needing Constitutional protection.
