Not really. I've been hearing (and originally, believed) the alarm bells ove gun rights since the '80s. Meh. Don't get too worried about it. Like abortio it's a dog whistle that the politicians use to drive people to the polls. That's it. They don't really care if you do or don't own a gun, what kind of gun it is or what you do with it, they just care about votes (well, and mone which buys votes).

If you limit law-abiding civilans to pistols and shotguns, you don't necessarily give an advantage to law enforcement. Back when law
enforcement first lost their advantage, it was because mobsters and outlaws had machine guns. My point being that most of the time they get in big shootouts with people who can outgun them, it is not your average civilian they are trading shots with, and making those guns illegal is not going to change that.

Oh, they do - but it's a little different from the history I learned.
But, that's a topic for another echo.

Do you honestly believe that any of those Amendments are going to be repealed? Do you know what is required to take place for that to
happen?
For the record, I'm a staunch conservative, and hardcore supporter of
the 2nd Amendment. I have owned LOTS of guns, before they were all tragically lost in a boating accident, of course.

You may be able to find a remedial class at your local community
college. Study up on what it takes to make (or repeal) a
Constitutional Amendment. Then, come back here again and tell us what
you think the odds of that actually happening are. Cheers!
I also just so happen to be a fud when it comes to gun, so if someone told me I
could only have 9mm and 12g from now on, I would be quite content.

I know several who would be happy with a .22 or a break-barrel springer. Those certainly have their applications.

I am quite happy with my Llama .38 (which is a piece of junk compared to the irons you talk about in here) but that does not mean I like my ability to get something else removed :-)

I am more comfortable with .38 standard barrel handguns than
others. A friend of mine used to have a nice Tarus .357
revolver. We'd load it with .38 shells (because they were less
expensive) and use it for target practice. I got pretty good
with it.

Ew. My old boss had a Taurus 44 Mag... damn thing jammed the
first time it was shot. I had to send the stupid gun back to
Taurus. I did tell him to never buy a Taurus but he never
listened.
Personally, I'm a Beretta, Glock, H&K, and Sig person. Each are
extremely reliable, damn accurate out of the box, and highly
customizable. :)

I have a Beretta 92FS that I like, but that's it for them. Also a few Glocks but no H&K. Don't like the looks of Sig. Mostly S&W and Ruger
for me, and CZ.

... All hope abandon, ye who enter messages here.What I think is funny is that you believe they have to repeal an ammendment to render it useless. They've already suborned the first ammendment with all of this "hate speech" crap. Your speech is now officially only protected if it is a popular idea supported by the majority (or whomever the media supports). If they don't like what you say it is automatically labled hate speech and you're ostricized and eviscerated by the media if not convicted. I actually heard on the news that Trump supporters need to be reprogrammed.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out
because I wasn't a socialist. Then they came for the trade
unionists, and I did not speak out because I wasn't a trade
unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out
because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for me. And there was no
one left to speak for me.

In Germany, the elephant in the living room is how many "illegal" firearms are stil
lurking around in closets, attics, buried in the back yard, etc.
WWII left a lot of real nice weapons running around that little country which were
retrieved for safekeeping by the citizens. Germany probably has more "ghost" M1
Garands and 1911s in civilian hands than we do.
There is a reason why our guys stationed over there in the 90's were occasionally
approached regarding the possibility of obtaining .30-06 and .45ACP rounds...
