Repeal the Second Amendment
In 1939 the Supreme Court unanimously held that Congress could prohibit the possession of a sawed-off shotgun because that weapon had no reasonable relation to the preservation or efficiency of a \u201cwell regulated militia.\u201dDuring the years when Warren Burger was our chief justice, from 1969 to 1986, no judge, federal or state, as far as I am aware, expressed any doubt as to the limited coverage of that amendment.\n\n\xa0Chief Justice Burger publicly characterized the N.R.A. as perpetrating \u201cone of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American public by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime.\u201dIn 2008, the Supreme Court overturned Chief Justice Burger\u2019s and others\u2019 long-settled understanding of the Second Amendment\u2019s limited reach by ruling, in District of Columbia v. Heller, that there was an individual right to bear arms. I was among the four dissenters. John Paul Stevens
