    37 states would need to support it even if it passes the House and Senate. Meaning 14 states would have to oppose it and the repeal dies. Opposing states...Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Montana, Idaho, Missouri, Oklahoma, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Kansas, West Virginia, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Texas....I haven’t even gotten to purple states like Pennsylvania and Virginia...Publicity stunt

    Tag something to the amendment that requires Congressional pay raises to take effect 2 elections later. (look up how long it took to ratify the 27th amendment)

    I think only 13 states need to reject the amendment, not 14. Three quarters of 50 is 37.5. You round up to 38, since 37 would be less than 75%. That leaves 13. But that's just math as I learned it in WV public schools. :lol:

    WILL NOT COMPLY!!

    I swear, like the American Civil War 2 thread pointed out: it seems like it will take a bloodbath for these morons to figure it out.

    I'll take this as a GOOD thing. Because it means they're shifting away from the "all you gun nuts are mis-interpreting the 2A" over to "you're right what it means, and we don't like it, so we want it to go away." That's a victory, as far as I'm concerned.

    Fat chance. They would likely have a better shot at seceding. Maybe they can do that and take CA with them to form Utopia.

    Good point.

    At least they are being honest about their intent, not like all the others that say “ I believe in the 2nd Amendment but . . .”

    i think this ties in with the young case, to some extent, that wolfwood is running. yeah, young is on hold, but i think they see that even if they get an en banc victory, complete denial of any form of carry will get killed by scotus. MAYBE??

    Nah, I think this is just virtue signaling. They know perfectly well what it takes to fundamentally change the Bill of Rights, and that they'll never get 37 states to agree with them. Hell, we've got that many states and more that are shall-issue for carry. Think they're going to agree to stop protecting themselves from government infringement on their right to self defense? Not going to happen. So, this is all just pandering to Pacific Progressives.
