Unless i'm mistaken, and it's entirely possible that I am, the only enumerated 'inalienable' rights are "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" (albeit prefaced with the weasel-words "among others".) The Second Amendment is part of a framework of law which allows for its own legal repeal, so it's not inalienable.

Well, thankfully, it takes 2/3 repeal, so that likelihood, at least in our lifetimes, is not realistic.

I'm already disappointed that most of the Republicans in the House and Senate are actually RINOs. Just goes to show you that there is a difference between a Republican and a Conservative. No true Conservative will ever vote against gun ownership. We need an entire House and Senate full of guys like Jeff Sessions in order to undo the damage by liberals in this country.

Well, thankfully for moderates everywhere, a Congress stacked with guys like Jeff Sessions is even less likely.
