See now you're using a pathetic strawman argument that I've already addressed.
he doesn't need to "repeal the second amendment" their side of the argument claims the second amendment doesn't even protect an individual right and hence they're not violating it.
I don't care if he doesn't "repeal" the second amendment from the constitution, those far leftist types will pass every law they want anyway and stack courts with judges who will uphold it. can you name one gun rights vote of Kagan or Sotomayor?

No, I've offered no strawman. This was your original statement: "You don't think Obama would abolish the second amendment (or at least sign laws to regulate guns so heavily it leads to a de facto repeal) if he could get the congressional votes for it?" and that's what I've been addressing. I suggest refraining from trying to use terminology that you aren't familiar with.he doesn't need to "repeal the second amendment" their side of the argument claims the second amendment doesn't even protect an individual right and hence they're not violating it.
He has not made that argument, nor has he acted in a fashion that would indicate that is his belief. Again: your words are above, for reference, in case you've forgotten them. Or are you now changing your argument?I don't care if he doesn't "repeal" the second amendment from the constitution, those far leftist types will pass every law they want anyway and stack courts with judges who will uphold it. can you name one gun rights vote of Kagan or Sotomayor?
This isn't about 'those far leftist types', it's about Obama. Have you so little faith in your original statement that you now feel forced to amend it?
Kagan and Sotomayor are irrelevant to the actions of Obama in this regard.

how do you interpret the second amendment and what does it mean to you?
That's rich coming from a Hillary supporter. :lamoTrump is a lying SOS, and like all conspiracy theorists, he uses the same BS vague language.
But the rabble are just too ignorant to see how they are being played. They always are...that is why there are con artists.

Wow.
Well THERE'S a gigantic, Grand Canyon sized question.
It's not really the venue for the answer that question demands, but I grew up with guns, love their utility, and have one on my person 5, sometimes 7, days a week.
If you're looking for specific judicial opinions and my interpretation of them, I don't have many.
But I like the way Posner addressed it.

1. You do realize that the repeal of a Constitutional amendment requires another Constitutional amendment, which takes more than "Congressional votes" to pass, don't you?
2. I try not to argue in hypotheticals.

the opinion of his that was reversed in McDonald?
"Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish the Second Amendment," Trump said to the crowd of supporters gathered in the Trask Coliseum at North Carolina University in Wilmington. "If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks.
"Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is. I don't know."
Trump Says Maybe '2nd Amendment People' Can Stop Clinton's Supreme Court Picks - ABC News
He keeps qualifying these innuendos with, "I don't know." and "You tell me."
Time for the Trumpster Legion to explain what he really meant.
Yeah, this is absurd. You shouldn't need to tell a major presidential candidate that it's not okay to insinuate --and not really insinuate, more directly request-- that they should shoot his political rival. There's a term for that, it's called being a totalitarian dictator. Normally this is hyperbole, but with Trump, it sadly isn't. This guy is absolutely crazy, and there's no bounds of reason with him.
