Nothings has changed. He is still a pariah and an absolute dumb ass.

[Olog-hai]

Funny how the guy who is trying to “disappear” stuff like the word “inalienable” when it comes to rights complains about being “disappeared” when he’s evidently out there with the media giving him a soapbox.

All rights have limits but Metcalf’s argument was for infringement.

No one says you should be able to pull your gun and point it at someone for the fun of it.

What Metcalf supported was clearly an attack on the right to keep and bear arms not some reasonable regulation.

Go figure...

“Compromise is a bad word these days,” Dick Metcalf, 67, told The New York Times of what he believes is the unyielding, give-no-ground ethos adopted by Second Amendment supporters in the U.S. today. “People think it means giving up your principles.”

Like my grandfather told me, “boy, you don’t poop where you eat.”

it is true, but he did not say poop.

No negotiating with the Constitution, buddy.

I can compromise on preferences. If I compromise on principles, they were never principles, but also preferences.

Too bad, so sad.

This is the second story on this today. I don’t recall the source of the first, e.g, if it was FoxNews, but this is a two month old story. Bottom line is simple ... the bill of rights were written to protect the people from the Federal government, not the government from the people and not from people from each other. If you lose track of that while you are writing to a constitutionally informed audience, they will turn on you. What part of ‘shall not be infringed’ did he not understand? F him.

Dick!

“The fact is, all constitutional rights are regulated, always have been, and need to be.”

Clearly does not understand that rights are not granted us by the Constitution. How this doofus ever got to be a writer for a conservative publication is beyond me. He obviously doesn't grasp the basics of conservatism, let alone the right to keep and bear arms.

This former Guns & Ammo subscriber has no sympathy for a pariah.

Dick thinks that 30,000 gun laws aren’t enough. All we need is one more law and everything will be so much better.

Compromise means "give and take" - it means both sides give concessions in order to achieve a mutual goal. We haven't seen compromise in decades - it's always the left taking and the spineless on the center-right giving.

The constitution, the second amendment, was written clearly and purposefully. The right to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED! Period!

The left doesn't want compromise - they want absolute power over the people. And the only thing standing between them and absolute power IS the second amendment.

A year later, and he still sounds All Shook Up. Some bridges stay burned.

[jocon307]

Don’t worry, buddy, you’ll have a lot of new friends soon, the libs love conservatives who’ve ‘grown’.

[bkopto]

Metcalf, a former history professor at both Yale and Cornell....

Why, there's your problem right there, right out in the open. Who thought that this fellow-traveler would be a good hire, anyway?
