Sessions: Clinton is the most anti-Second Amendment candidate ever!

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) on Sunday slammed Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton as “the most anti-Second Amendment” presidential candidate the country has ever seen.
Sessions, who endorsed presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, criticized Clinton for saying the District of Columbia v. Heller decision, which he said “protects the right of individuals to keep and bear arms,” was wrong.
With the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, Sessions said the court is now split, 4-4, in its support of the decision.
“She gets in, she will appoint somebody who changes it, and what that means is it’s no longer a personal right to have a gun, but every city, county and state can completely ban firearms in America,” he said on “Fox News Sunday.”
“This would be the greatest reduction of Second Amendment rights since the founding of the Republic.”
Sessions said it was important the American people understand the extent of Clinton’s “radical position” on the issue.
Sessions also called the list of potential Supreme Court nominees Trump released last week a “really fine list” of “accomplished” people.
Eh, they’re consistent at least. They’ve done a de facto repeal of the 1st, choosing which speech is acceptable, seems like a good time to go after the 2nd as well.
I still think the next constitutional amendment should be:
All laws shall apply equally to citizens and government and their employees. Any exemption given to government in any fashion is hereby granted to all citizens. All prohibitions which are applied to citizens are to be immediately applied to all forms of government and employees.
But only then?

>>The liberty of some to own guns cannot take precedence over the liberty of everyone to live their lives free from the risk of being easily murdered. It has for too long, and we must now say no more.
How many has communism killed? How many millions slaughtered by their own government just in the 20th century? By this moron’s logic, we should ban leftists and government. After all, don’t we have the right not to be easily murdered by Khmer Rouge worshiping leftists like this author?
I stopped reading right there. How can he claim any authority on the constitution when he doesn't even realize that the point of making slaves count for 3/5 was specifically to limit the congressional power of slave holding states by making sure they didn't get an inflated house representation? The slave holding states, in case it actually needs to be said, were all pro slavery. So reducing their representation is in effect, an anti slavery move.
So, some left wing ahole writing for the dopper rag “Rolling Stone” wants to repeal our Second Amendment rights?
Screw him.
Yes, the people in the present day have more powerful weapons than they did 200 years ago, but the present day government is far more fascist in 2016, and they have even MORE powerful weapons to oppress and kill we, the people!
Again, screw you, Cohen.
Nothing in the Constitution about homosexual marriage, abortion, or Sodomy but all of that is settled law and that’s that according to the Left.
Riiiiight. The framers were as stoopid as David S. Cohen.
You know what else the framers didn't foresee? They couldn't predict telephones, radio, television, or the internet. Yet, I'll bet little David thinks all those unpredictable methods are entirely within the bounds of the First amendment's provisions for the "press" - which to the framers was a big iron, slow moving machine cranking out scores of copies per day. Movable type, physical pressure - that is precisely what the framers thought of when describing the press.
Unlike little David, the framers weren't stupid enough to believe themselves all-knowing and brilliant.
For someone who claims to teach the Constitution for a living he appears to have no understanding of it or the history and thinking behind what is in it. His thinking on the subject seems limited to leftist memes.
....And no one listens to them!
Talk about an inconvenient truth! Gun control in paris. Very tight. It did nada to stop terrorists.
The Boston bombers bomb was constructed with a pressure cooker. This writer might want to outlaw those also.
The Madrid bombers? I think they were already using banned explosives.
Many other countries do not have the right to bear arms in their constitutions, yet they are subject to terrorist attacks.
Shhh!! Rolling Bones doesn’t want you to think independently or logically!! You are disrupting the force of their propaganda.
I bet there are more than a few relatives in his ancestry who wished there had been a Second Amendment available to them.
He writes crazy but that is what is being taught indirectly and directly for some in the public schools and the universities. That will show up in ever increasing %ages of young people who are horrified that guns are permitted in a “civilized” country. They will be a majority by and by.
And this socialist filth teaches our young what to believe and how to reason: “I revere the document when it is used to further social justice ...” And whom is it that determines what is ‘social justice’? Yup, the socialist fools like this miscreant. Not the Constitution, which contains the Bill of Rights, bilge spittlists like this professor want to cancel.
I teach the Constitution for a living. I revere the document when it is used to further social justice and make our country a more inclusive one. I admire the Founders for establishing a representative democracy that has survived for over two centuries.
That is as far as I was willing to go.
Be best if we could just herd up these anti-gun lemmings and send them to ISIS for target practice.
“For starters the Founders established a republic and not a democracy. Not sure how someone who “teaches the Constitution” could get that one wrong.”
The leftists’ god from Kenya (until he needed to run for president) is a self-proclaimed “Constitutional Law Professor” and gets EVERYTHING wrong.
Yeah, Perfesser, get an act of Congress passed with a 2/3rds majority & then get 38 states to ratify it.
Come on, hit the bricks & get ‘er done! Put some teeth in your belief.
The Republic as you surely define it was repealed with the ratification of the 17th Amendment, We became a Democracy at that point. It has taken a long time for that to play out but we did pass quickly through that phase to the current system which is a limited but rapidly expanding Dictatorship.
