But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty once lost is lost forever. When the People once surrender their share in the Legislature, and their Right of defending the Limitations upon the Government, and of resisting every Encroachment upon them, they can never regain it. Letter from John Adams to Abigail Adams, 7 July 1775

It's true. Look at Mexico. Amended the constitution to turn the right to bear arms into the right to keep arms. then they passed laws that effectively disarmed the populace. result?

Cartels rose to power because they didn't give a shite about laws and the average person was now no threat to them - indeed, if you want protection you might have to work with them.
Incredibly corrupt police, demand bribes for incredibly minor infractions, they have a gun and you do not, they are god over you and they know it.


So we already have a blueprint of what happens if the 2nd amendment goes away. Organized crime becomes uncontrollable, and police and government abuse their power because they fricking can.
