Second Amendment, Repeal Debate and ERA Comparison

Former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens called for the repeal of the Second Amendment to facilitate gun control legislation. The hosts compare this movement to the failed Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), noting that taking away a right is much harder than adding one. They argue that the push for repeal will likely backfire on Democrats by mobilizing pro-gun voters in the 2018 elections.
