  - i bet gen z polls higher on repealing the 2nd Amendment than even restoring Roe -- nm - hollywood big shot Aug 29, 20:36 10

        No, but I grew up in an America where you currently need 38 states to repeal an amendment. Show me the 38. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Aug 29, 21:14 2
        
        that’s not the only way to repeal an amendment -- nm - hollywood big shot Aug 29, 21:17 1
