If the 2nd amendment was repealed tomorrow, would guns become illegal to own?

I doubt congress would do that.With JUST the repeal in and of itself? No. Unless of course some state or other has laws on the books that are dormant like many do with abortion if Roe v Wade were to ever be struck down.
However without the 2nd Amendment it would open up the ability of the federal government to enact law that would most certainly ban most, if not all, guns. They might let ya keep your single shot rifles.

A mass gun ban is a fiscal impossibility, and not only that but it's also guaranteed to be even less successful that the war on drugs. And it would simply drive guns underground, just like booze in the Prohibition Era.

Why is it that the ONLY people talking about a repeal are those who fear it....no one else even considers it.
