The implementation of improved electrical sockets didn't deny the people the use of electricity; only child proofed (and stupid proofed) residential electrical systems. Lawn darts are not essential. Their disappearance, a dubious preventive act at best, didn't hurt anyone except perhaps the manufacturer. Repeal the 2nd and the doors will be opened to confiscation of most if not all privately owned firearms. The result of that will be that many citizens, especially the physically infirm, aged, small of stature, will lose their ability to defend themselves against a physically superior aggressor. The body politic will lose its ability to defend against attacks from within on our personal liberties. The United States of America, a once great nation founded upon liberty for all, will have become a despotic waste land of subjugation. Therefore, "I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" appears to become more and more a contemporary sentiment.
