Some Liberal co-workers have argued with me this morning on this line:

The first amendment says “Congress shall make no law...” Thus, the second amendment restriction on infringement only applies to the Legislative branch. Therefore, executive orders requiring confiscation would be perfectly legal.

I mean... wow. I couldn’t even counter it. The stupidity was so great as to be blinding.

RE: The first amendment says “Congress shall make no law...”

Since this guy wants to abolish all context, then to use his argument, Congress should make no law. PERIOD.

Which means Obamacare should not be law because Congress made it. :)

Just explain Article I Section(s) one (Should only take this one, but lowly collectivists are vastly incoherent) as well as eight, Article II Section 3, and Separations of Powers

Say to them “So, in your oppinion there is no reason for congress to exist at all and you’d be happy if obama was king.” Then tell them you wouldn’t be happy so they should move to .........

Ask your Lib co-workers the following questions:

Do individuals have a right to be protected from violence by others?

Do you know that in 2005 the Supreme Court ruled that police do not have a duty to protect citizens? There also have been other cases with the same result, which is as a US citizen you are on your own for protection.

Given these two points, ask them how do you plan to protect yourself from someone who is big, faster, stronger and may be armed with any sort of weapon from a base ball bat to a knife to an axe to a gun?

“Congress shall make no law...”

The low information cannot possible know that the Administration - Article 2 - is not authorized to create LAWS.
