Why don't the elitists just admit that they want the Second Amendment gone?

Via The Federalist:

What’s interesting about the inevitable recycling of this debate is that liberals aren’t speaking up for the one measure that might actually change the country in a manner they’d like: repealing the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

If pressed for honesty, most liberals would admit that’s exactly the kind of country they would like to live in.

Why then don’t they call for changes in the laws to make the U.S. more like Australia?

The answer is obvious. The overwhelming majority of Americans support the right to bear arms guaranteed by the constitution.
