4. Repeal it? Sure, better get started.

Go right ahead. Everything it takes to repeal it is right there in the Constitution in clear, unambiguous terms.

2/3 majorities in both houses of Congress, 3/4 of the states to ratify the repeal within the deadlines.

So you best get off the couch and get those petitions started. Be sure and keep us posted on how it's going.

But perhaps you meant to have somebody else actually do all the "heavy lifting" for you, so you can sit on the couch and type furiously about how incensed you are, then celebrate when the first of the Bill of Rights amendments is repealed ?

Or are you just another lazy gun control fan that's all talk and no action?
