Law Professor Demands Repeal of 'Outdated' Second Amendment, Makes Very Weak Case
Forbes ^ | June 24, 2016 | George Leef

Posted on 06/24/2016 10:44:23 AM PDT by reaganaut1

The massacre in Orlando has prompted many demands for still more laws intended to prevent deranged killers like Omar Mateen from getting their hands on firearms. It has also occasioned more radical ideas, including the repeal of the Second Amendment.

That is exactly what Drexel University law professor David S. Cohen proposes in his June 13th article in Rolling Stone, “Why It’s Time to Repeal the Second Amendment.”

Naturally, Cohen’s writing is full of passion. Anti-gun forces will no doubt laud his piece as visionary and compelling. It lacks any good arguments, however and suffers from the fatal flaw of all “progressive” demands for more laws to solve problems – the assumption that just because a law is meant to accomplish some objective, it actually will accomplish it.

There was a time when at least some Democrats had some common sense.

"By calling attention to 'a well regulated militia,' the 'security' of the nation, and the right of each citizen 'to keep and bear arms,' our founding fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny which gave rise to the Second Amendment will ever be a major danger to our nation, the Amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic civilian-military relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of his country. For that reason I believe the Second Amendment will always be important."

President John F. Kennedy

---------------------------------------------------

"Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of citizens to keep and bear arms. This is not to say that firearms should not be very carefully used and that definite safety rules of precaution should not be taught and enforced. But the right of citizens to bear arms is just one more guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard against a tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible."

Vice President and Senator Hubert H. Humphrey

I want this turd to defend himself against the 400+ pound black bear that was outside my screened in porch this morning. He can defend himself with a toothbrush.

That should take care of it.

Sounds like he’s looking for an invitation to the White Hut to visit his god while there’s still time.

Perhaps the Fraud will deign to give a shout-out to him after the next big shooting by a leftist freak.

This is the kind of guy that would want Israel to ban its guns too.

Let him live over there for a year.

Let him live in Chicago for a year.

When did prof. Cohen realize that he had become a human toilet.

Another anti-American POS that has exposed himself for what academia is now. Hopefully when we have a pro-Constitutional law-abiding president again, many of these scumbags will be out of work and hopefully headed for another country....

Things can change a lot in a half a century.
Not remote at all today.

We need to get rid of the anti-constitutional infringements on American citizens’ right to keep and bear arms. Moslem terrorists and criminals should not be the only people able to freely get and carry firearms. Moslems in particular like to attack soft targets where honest Americans are disarmed, not packing heat or able to offer and meaningful defense.
