Repeal the Second Amendment: Part One

Almost everybody in the U.S. [including the Gang of Five Republicans on the Supreme Court--Roberts, Alito, Kennedy, Scalia and Thomas] is misinterpreting the Second Amdenment.
 
The sole and unique purpose of the Second Amendment (adopted in 1791 when "semiautomatic assault weapons did not exixt) was to assure that a citizen mililtia was armed (with single-shot, muzzle-loading muskets), so that they could defend the country against the British if they tried to invade us (as they did in 1812).   

There was absolutely nothing whatsoever in the Second Amendment about possessing arms for "personal protection" despite distorted views of trhe Gang of Five.

The Second Amendment is now obsolete--and has been for two hundred years because we don't have a militia any more and, the last time I checked, the redcoats were not coming after us.

The Second Amendment should be repealed.  

How can We the People repeal the Second Amendment?  It takes is a vote of 2/3 of the House and the Senate and the approval of 3/4 of the state legislatures. Sounds hard, but there is a precedent: the 18th Amendment prohibiting alcohol was repealed by the 21st Amendment.

All it takes is the political courage to stand up to the bullies in the NRA and the gun lobby.  Do American politicans have that courage?  If not, We the People should throw the cowards in the trashcan and elect men and women who have the guts to repeal the Second Amendment.
