Retired US Supreme Court Justice Stevens is calling for repeal of the 2nd amendment. There is no doubt the amendment is a relic of the 18th century that has no place in modern society. The reason for the amendment was certainly not to overthrow the government nor for personal defense as many owners claim. Back in the 18th century the people felt that a national standing army posed a threat to the security of the separate states. This lead to the amendment, which suported militias. One would have to be nuts to believe we need militias today in lieu of our armed forces.
The only way the country will ever have effective enforceable gun regulations is to repeal the 2nd amendment. The constitutional right to bear arms has created loopholes in gun control that make them ineffective at keeping the guns out of the hands of criminals.
