The tell that this is somebody yanking people's chains is the line "the Second Amendment is likely to be repealed or held unconstitutional." I know of no method that an amendment in the Constitution can be held to be unconstitutional. It's in the frigging Constitution.

Sorry Steph. The 18th Amendment banned drinking alcohol in 1919. The 21st Amendment restored sanity in 1933 by deleting the 18th from the Constitution.

Duces

That proves my point. The 18th Amendment was not held to be unconstitutional. The Constitution was amended.

No, it was amended. There's no requirement to do or say anything other than supercede a provision. For example, the 20th Amendment changed the beginning of both Congressional terms and Presidential terms.
