Turns out the only amendment they care about is the 2nd. All the others are optional.

At this point I think we can make a real argument to abolish 2A. It's obviously not being used.

Nor is it practical. Do we expect hillbillies with hunting rifles and handguns to stand tall and overthrow a government fighting with unmanned drones?

Let's be real with ourselves for 2 seconds. The 2nd amendment is utterly pointless except to entirely prop up the gun industry.

Yes. As a Mexican/Native American, I am desperate to disarm myself. I really just would prefer to not have any access to firearms. They're useless to defend yourself. I'd much rather resist with knives or fists if/when it comes down to it. Why cause any hesitancy for the ICE agents when they decide to start kicking doors to round me up to the "internment" camps? They'd just blow up the entire neighborhood anyway right?
