Yup, we would just need to trim 4 or 5 amendments off of the Bill of
Rights.

Wasn't that one reason why we had the 2d amendment in the first place?


No.

I guess you never read some of the comments from the people who wrote
it and considered that they had just won a bloody revolution against
the most powerful country in the world.

The real point is that gun confiscation would have to violate the 2d,
4th, 5th, 6th and perhaps the 10th amendment.
I doubt they would get half in any kind of buy back, even at a
generous market price. Then you get down to forcible "takings", black
markets and millions of instant criminals.
How many prisons are you going to build?
