In your editorial “How Congress can pursue a reasonable gun debate,” you wrote: “The Supreme Court ruled in 2008 that the Second Amendment guarantees individuals the right to own guns for self-defense.” You also said,“It’s safe to say repealing the Second Amendment isn’t on the horizon.”
Repealing the Second Amendment isn’t necessary. Supreme Court decisions can be reversed. This has occurred many times. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
