Second Amendment to be repealed by 2040, most guns confiscated by2070
Let me first say that I like guns, have a few, and believe in the
meaning of the Second Amendment. I used to be a member of the NRA, until I was repulsed by its political dishonesty. That said, my long term thinking on the future oft he Second Amendment and what it protects, is bleak. The reason is not what the current administration is going to do in the aftermath of the latest events, but on what happens to gun ownership. The number of guns is not going down, but the number of gun owners will go down for a few reasons. One is that young people do not get nearly as much exposure to their parents guns, so they are not as interested. Another is that there is fewer and fewer gun ranges. There are many more alternative ways to have fun that did not exist 40 years ago. At some point the interest in guns will wane. Even now, "gun advocates" are, mostly, at least middle aged. So, people will lose interest in guns, gun ownership will concentrate, and then finally the "gun lobby" will not be as numerous. The guns wil be seen as menace by more people and liked by fewer people. So, eventually the Second Amendment will be repealed and a few decades later, not much gun ownership will remain or be permitted. i |
