Alex Wagner, 'Authorized Journalist', on the
Bill of Rights:
Bill Maher, HBO: "Let's ask Alex. What would you change in the Constitution?" Alex Wagner, Huffington Post: "Well, I'm going to be pilloried for this. I think get rid of the second Amendment, the right to bear arms. I just think in the grand scheme of the rights that we have; the right of assembly, free speech, I mean, owning a gun does not, it does not tally on the same level as those other Constitutional rights. And being more discreet about who gets to have a firearm and right to kill with a firearm, I think is something that would be in our national interest to revisit that."
And
Ladd Everitt at the CSGV endorses this position:
Note that when they claim they only want 'reasonable, common-sense' gun control.

Some people just don't want to be responsible for themselves. And to keep from feeling like the gits they are, don't want you to be responsible either.
At least this is reasonably honest, instead of 'i support the second amendment, but it doesn't mean people get to own guns'
Give the government total monopoly on force and see how long the other rights last.
Government is a dangerous servant and a horrible master. (not my quote)

Repealing the amendment altogether is quite a difference from judging is various actions violate the amendment.
I prefer a fight out in the open compared to all this astroturfing, slimy BS they usually pull.
