So the way to stop muslim terrorism is to take away the Second Amendment rights of US citizens

Facebook Land is brimming with just such a sentiment...

They already accept that there is no 1st amendment. They only post/print the demoncrat views. So why wouldn’t they want to abolish the 2nd?

That is the bad thing about facebook. It allows idiots a chance to share their idiot views with other idiots.

Secret courts can begin removing folks 2A rights, but as soon as reports emerge that that is what they are doing....all bets are off.

Not that anybody cares about such things anymore:

Amendment V

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Maybe a secret committee to take away the first amendment rights of journalist who step over the line too... No court, no jury... just a committee.

How would the butt kissers at the New York Times feel about that?

“The piece is written by Adam Winkler, a U.C.L.A. School of Law professor.”

This is where someone should patiently wait for him outside his office and take a bat to him. Then ask him if they should outlaw baseball.

Well that’s the best idea I can come up with. And it’s certainly a necessary first step

Having written a novel, a little over 20 years ago, which deals in large part on the intellectual dishonesty of the New York Times, as a major plot mechanism, I am tempted to respond to this latest idiocy of these journalists without a moral compass.

But having one, I cannot quite bring myself to propose a secret Court to strip away the First Amendment Rights of American journalists who never respect--much less defend--basic elements of the American heritage.

Once again the Times chimes in against what better men vouchsafed to us.

If this is what he thinks after going to law school, I wonder what he thought before he went.

But they’d scream if anyone so much as touched the First Amendment.

Screaming ‘hypocrisy’ writ large in red letters.

So, in the eyes of the Times the first amendment is sacred and untouchable but the 2nd amendment can be suspended by congress!

People in favor of Star Chambers always imagine themselves on them. It doesn’t work like that.
