Bobson,
The Second Amendment gives us nothing. It prohibits government action infringing upon our RKBA. It doesn't limit government action, it prohibits government action infringing upon our RKBA. So placing emphasis upon the Second Amendment IS PARAMOUNT! The battle was fought and won way back when the Second Amendment was proposed and ratified so that we shouldn't have to keep on fighting this battle.
We are fighting people who have usurped power and people who support that usurpation. That usurpation is contrary to the Constitution and that second amendment to it is right there in your face.
If and when there is a move to amend the Constitution, that is the time for the antis to lay down their logic as to why the Second Amendment should be amended and our chance to quash it. If they can come up with enough votes for it to pass through Congress or get their proposal to come out of conventions in two-thirds of the several states, It'll still need to be ratified in three-fourths of the several states. That is another task for the antis to attempt and the opportunity for it to be quashed again.
Bottom line here is that the Second Amendment is the standing law in this land and no one should allow any infringements to the Second Amendment protected RKBA unless and not until the Second Amendment itself is amended. The law of the land MUST be upheld. Relying on logic and common sense to defeat these infringements is not the way to defeat them. Those infringements must be eradicated, and if necessary, eradicated with the force of law granted Congress in Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment.
