"Article V outlines the procedure by which amendments to the Constitution may be adopted. It is, to put it bluntly, a high bar to clear:The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution . . . which . . . shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof.
You read that correctly: two-thirds of both chambers plus three-fourths of the state legislatures must approve an amendment before it becomes law. Repealing the Second Amendment is not going to happen any time soon.
Of course, everybody knows it won’t be repealed — there is no need to belabor the point."
