Comments on: The 2nd Amendment in 20 minutes http://peacecorpsworldwide.org/homesteading/2013/01/08/the-2nd-amendment-in-20-minutes/ Mishelle Shepard (Czech Republic 1994-96) will be blogging about her experiences in homesteading. With the ultimate goal of becoming completely self-sufficient and energy-independent she and her handy husband can’t yet quit their day jobs, but invite wanna-be and expert homesteaders to share their experiences and to laugh at their myriad mistakes in Homesteading: Starting from Scratch.  Mishelle will be covering any and all topics pertinent to the homesteading lifestyle beginning with the what, where, why and eventually including everything.

Finally, it would authorize the addition of hundreds of new agents and other personnel for the underfinanced bureau to allow for more frequent inspections of all gun stores." (from The Bid to Stop Gun Trafficking) I'm sure they'll be different now though.

First, the process of amending the Constitution applies to all parts including the Bill of Rights. So any part or amendment can be rescinded by a new amendment. Second, presumably the principle enforcement agency for any new gun laws would be Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, the ATF, now a part of the Department of Homeland Security. I tell people that the last agency of the Federal Government they want to see or meet is ATF. Better to deal with Navy Seals or our Special Forces. For anyone who does not understand, just remember the tragedy in Waco, Texas was deliverd to us by the ATF. Two comments.
