Repealing a constitutional amendment is darn near impossible. An issue such as the second amendment where, believe it or not, the majority in this country support wouldn't even be close. The ever growing list of restrictive laws that don't work will continue to expand but the amendment isn't going anywhere. A vocal minority can make as big a stink as they want.....but when it comes right down to it the support needed from our lawmakers isn't there. A 2/3 majority in both houses of congress is not gonna happen.
Of course that doesn't mean that we need to let down our guard. Whittling away our rights in round about sort of ways is what our government does best......fear mongering is an effective tool. For example the department of homeland security, we are so blinded in times of crisis that we allow our individual rights to be limited or taken away in the name of security.....all the while preventing them from doing what they were intended to do.....which unfortunately has been labeled with the derogatory term "racial profiling". The countries most successful at limiting chaos within their borders use this technique quite effectively.
This kind of nonsense is exactly what leads to all of the shortages of the last few years. People who don't understand how the system actually works go out and hoard all they can because they think that they'll never have access to the items being vilified.
Ok......rant off
