To: The United States House of Representatives and The United States Senate
Repeal the Second Amendment
We the people of the United States are petitioning the U.S. House and U.S. Senate to take a vote for repeal of the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Once both houses approve the repeal by a 2/3rds majority, in order for the repeal to be enacted, three fourths of the states have to approve the repeal of the amendment as well.
Why is this important?
The 2nd Amendment protects the right of the people collectively to form a well regulated militia. This amendment enacted in 1791 is out of date, and in fact has been misinterpreted by the courts that everyone has a right to a gun. Currently, many local governments attempts to enact common sense gun control have been continuously blocked and overturned. Its time to get rid of this amendment.
