Don't think it'll fly, but it shows it's on their agenda and where their minds are.

They did the same thing back in 2009!  Not going to happen!

An amendment to the US Constitution is one of the most difficult things to accomplish for very good reasons.

Two thirds of both the House and the Senate would have to concur and then it would have to be ratified by three fourths of the States' legislatures within seven years.  That's a tall order.

Very tall indeed!  That's why, since ratification in 1787, there have only been 17 changes and a few of those shouldn't have been adopted in the first place!

The same constitutional process ought to be required for any infringement of the first ten amendments. This will stop the knee jerk reactions to the 2A all the time. We need legislation that reinforces that notion and keeps jerkwater politicians focused on the things we elect them for: budgets, fiscal responsibility and national celebration days (like Twinkie Remembrance Day).

All those who think I'm an extremist today are going to be saying I was a f*cking prophet before to much longer.
