Dr. Ben has adjusted his view of the 2nd several times now. If you didn’t get it as written, you never will. He may be brilliant in a lot of things but way to naive to be CinC. He was interesting for a time but the more I find, the less I like.

I’m afraid that I have to agree.

Either we operate this country in accord with the Constitution as it is written or we don’t.

...and all it requires is a poorly worded message on FR to have your guns confiscated.

No one has watched 1984?
No thanks.

Do you have a link to where the NRA states this; because there is neither a reference to the NRA at all, anywhere, or a link to such a statement, in the article at American Thinker. All of the references are to 0bama or federal agencies under him.

“... a poorly worded message on FR...” Guilty.

Gee. The majority of American Negroes belong in a class all by themselves.

Esceptions; Thomas Sowell and the best justice on the Soopreme Kort: Clarence Thomas.

“Uh, wrong. Who makes the determination?”

My thoughts exactly. If you allow liberals to decide, anybody taking any medication of any kind would end up on the list. Next thing you know, half the population is considered a “potential” terrorist or mass murderer.

Ben needs to spend a little more time reading the Constitution. He’s just not qualified to be President. I am hoping he will fade away.

He’s a 7 day adventist and claimed that it took more faith to believe in evolution. Jehovah’s Witnesses are from that bunch.

Same here.

Not to sound prejudiced, but America has had too much of experimentation with electing ‘minorities’.

I have spent too many years working in and around police, fire, combat and combat support systems to think anything other than everyone that I have met has a point to which, if pushed, will not only push back, but will do so with extreme hostility.

I have met grandmothers that served with the OSS, I have shaken hands with SWAT and Delta force. I have interviewed prisoners who were normal until they were pushed. My experiences are perhaps unique, but I firmly believe that everyone -EVERYONE- has the capacity for being a savage. I further believe that it is only a very thin veneer of “civilization” that keeps the anger in check.

Sorry, I simply will have to disagree.

The accidental Mussolini? This guy is smart with brains; he’s stupid with political power. Either he is evil or he has no idea of the monster in what he proposes would bring about. He needs to go away. Read the constitution and some history and start at square one.

Wrong. This is the bill currently in Congress that the NRA supports “The Mental Health and Safe Communities Act of 2015”:

And I’m not posting as a Pro or Anti Carson supporter... just pointing out the NRA is on record supporting what Carson is suggesting.

you can talk all you want about it... just don’t give the nutjobs the notoriety...

part of due process... keep the court case free from conjecture of the press...

no one said you can’t talk about it... just not recognition

You’re right— I believe without immediate access to documentation that during WW2 there were serious calls for the extermination, or at least the irrevocable diaspora, of the German people.

I can look this up if needed....that Stalin told Churchill he wanted 50,000 German lives as a condition of peace after defeat of that nation. He claimed to be joking after this remark caused Churchill to leave the room in distress.

What’s the difference between “talk all you want” and “recognition”?
