Go ahead and try. That would signal an end to Claire Wolfe’s awkward stage.
The right to self defense, in the form of gun ownership, is not granted by the Second Amendment of the U. S. Constitution.
Rather, it is one of those “certain unalienable rights” that our nation’s founders recognized as being inherent, with which we are endowed by our Creator. They understood that governments have no rights, only powers granted to them by the people. So the government can never grant rights to people that are unalienable.
The Second Amendment is a limit on the government power. Many people are agitating to either eliminate the Second Amendment or redefine it to have the same effect. Even in the absence of the Second Amendment, we still have an inherent, unalienable right to self protection. And that means gun ownership.
I would like to think that a repeal of the 2nd Amendment would finally push the average, law-abiding, Constitution-respecting American citizen too far... I’d like to think that, but I really don’t know.
Ban the news media : The news media are the ones inciting these mentally ill people to commit massacres against unarmed people.
The news media causes these mass shooting massacres. The news media makes a loser world famous. This is why they do for the attention and to become world famous forever. to go out with a bang. These losers are mentally ill and would have committed suicide anyway . But the news media promises to make them a household name.
If there is an increase in recent decades ask yourself why?
Would it be the massive wall to wall media coverage? Yes.
You have a mentally deranged loser who nobody ever paid attention to and he keeps watching the media shootings on TV .
So he wants to be world famous too . And just the repetitive showing of something would trigger some mentally ill creeps. Monkey see monkey do. And the news media shows them how to do and how to become famous.
They have already repealed due process and requirement of evidence beyond heresay accusations for males.
His argument, in a nutshell:
17 people died, therefore no one except certain government employees can have modern self-defense weapons.
They’d not be a lib left breathing air.....
Would only take 38 states and a civil war.
And the anti-repeal side has most of the guns.
Right. Repeal the Second Amendment; Start the Second Civil War. Simple cause and effect.
I did a little research on another thread, and just have to share it here. Given the pearl-clutching, couch-fainting, vapours-driven call by the NY Times to repeal the Second Amendment.
Don’t forget history (from Wikipedia):
“The main office of The New York Times was attacked during the New York Draft Riots. The riots, sparked by the beginning of drafting for the Union Army, beginning on July 13, 1863. On “Newspaper Row”, across from City Hall, Henry Raymond stopped the rioters with Gatling guns (early machine guns), one of which he manned himself. The mob diverted, and attacked the headquarters of abolitionist publisher Horace Greeley’s New York Tribune until forced to flee by the Brooklyn City Police, who had crossed the East River to help the Manhattan authorities.”
Henry Raymond was the founder of the NY Slimes. I wonder what he would think? Of interest, the NY Slimes was not the “abolitionist newspaper” - that was Horace Greeley, anti-slavery ‘radical Republican’ and plank-holder in the Republican Party. Some things never change.
Oh, saying Raymond “stopped the rioters” is a euphemism for “he shot them”.
See Tagline.

To Repeat:
Go straight to hell
Do not pass GO
Do not collect $200
Lunatic liberals forget the lessons of history here. HRH King George III believed that the Colonists had too many guns and too much ammunition at Lexington. So he ordered his Redcoats to March over and seize everything.
Fortunately for the Colonists and us today, he failed and sparked the creation of our Constitutional Republic along with it’s necessary Second Amendment.
They can cry all day and night. The second amendment will never be repealed. There will never be enough states to repeal an amendment.
The problem could be solved if we addressed the issues that CAN be addressed.
Let’s repeal the 19th amendment instead. That would settle the gun issue and a whole bunch more.
Let's see ... That's 1800 in five years or 90 per year. Seatbelts were advertised to save 5000 lives per year. And yet we still have probably 30,000 lives lost each year in auto accidents. Where is the call to outlaw automobiles?
Liberalism is definitely a mental disorder.
I personally refuse to give up my right to self-defense and find myself helpless against a liberal college professor swinging a bike lock at the end of a chain.
Why don’t we make it illegal to kill people? This stuff will never happen again.
It can’t be repealed. It is an inalienable right.
Can I vote to repeal the new York times
Repealing the 2nd Amendment would do nothing to disarm criminals.
Bret Stephens, I don’t want clueless and indifferent FBI bureaucrats to protect me from crazed killers.
I want to defend my freedom and my life without government interference.
Its you, sir - who miss the point of the 2nd Amendment and the RKBA,
Without it, we’d be slaves or dead. Thanks but no thanks.
