"Repeal the Second Amendment" Says Retired Supreme Court Justice
----------------------------------------------------------------

"Repeal the Second Amendment." That's the recommendation of retired
Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, writing in a New York Times
op-ed published Tuesday. In the piece, he praises the youth protesters
who staged Saturday's massive worldwide marches, the March for Our
Lives. He also writes, "a constitutional amendment to get rid of the
Second Amendment would be simple and would do more to weaken the
N.R.A.'s ability to stymie legislative debate and block constructive gun
control legislation than any other available option."
