>I wonder what would have happened if some part of the constitution called for the "right to own slaves". I suspect it would have been amended when the states

  Nice. Not an American, so not familiar with this case. Which reinforces my point: no damn reason to keep the constitution, the founding fathers and 200 year old amendments as "holy scripture". You can fuck "the right to bear arms" and change the laws.

    >You can fuck "the right to bear arms" and change the laws. You could, via constitutional amendment. There are 2 methods to do this, a constitutional convention (hasn't happened yet). Or the amendment can pass both houses with a 2/3 vote, and then be ratified by 3/4 of the states. This is the legal procedure for changing the constitution. However, the anti-gun control crowd doesn't have anywhere near the support for this. Ignoring the constitution and confiscating all guns via dictatorial fiat would result in civil war/mass uprisings that would kill far more people than currently killed via firearm.
