‘The View’ Explodes Over Second Amendment Debate, Goldberg Says ‘It’s About a Militia’
freebeacon.com ^ | 6/15/17 | David Rutz

The liberal hosts of "The View" were well-armed with dubious talking points about gun control and the Second Amendment during a fierce debate Thursday in the wake of Wednesday's shooting that left House Majority Steve Scalise (R., La.) and four others wounded.

Host Sunny Hostin said "more guns is not the answer." Fellow host Joy Behar boasted of living in New York State with its strict gun laws, claiming that she would be afraid to live in an open-carry state and would never take public transportation.

"I'd be afraid that some guy on the subway would have a fit, just go mad because he was upset somebody took his seat … and shoot somebody else," she said, not noting that the exact same thing could happen in New York.

Non-liberal host Jedediah Bila countered, however, saying she felt safe in states like Arizona and Texas.

"I'm not worried about law-abiding citizens carrying guns," Bila said. "They don't make me nervous."

Host Whoopi Goldberg cut over Bila to ask her if she had been around "afraid people with guns."

"I have," Bila said.

"I don't believe you, Jed. I don't believe you," Goldberg said.

Dear Ms. Goldberg: The Bill of Rights pertains to every single individual as an individual. A Militia is a result of grouping some of these individuals.

"I don't believe you, Jed. I don't believe you," Goldberg said.

Goldberg shows the typical liberal response of calling the other person a liar when losing the argument.

Why even bother trying to have a conversation with someone like that?

...host Joy Behar...

This pig is the absolute dumbest damned...uh, "woman?"...on television today.

She has made some astoundingly ignorant and dumb ass comments.

Not to mention the fact that she is as ugly as the south end of a north-bound mule.

Consider the following sentence: A well educated electorate, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and read books, shall not be infringed. It is a version of (part) of the first amendment with a grammatical structure identical to the second amendment. Who would argue that (in America) it limits reading books to "the electorate"?

So they are okay waiting 8, 10, even 15-20 minutes for help? Too lazy or afraid to defend themselves?

"The Second Amendment is about a militia," she said. "That's what it says."

And I'm a Militia Of One, bitch.

Here’s another interpretation of the second:

The constitution was written from the perspective of what the founders had just experienced; a civil war against a well regulated militia, the British army. What were their feelings about an army at that time? The answer is fear. The second amendment means that because a well regulated militia (an army) is a necessary evil for the security of a free country, but also inherently dangerous to the freedom of said country, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The second amendment exists to protect the people from the government. Read some of the state versions of the right to keep and bear arms.

We believe in an armed populace because we can't trust the government (and rightly so).
They believe in an unarmed populace because they can't trust their neighbors.

Their opinion is in the minority, the very small minority of Americans.

In response to call for gun control, particularly since 2008, guns sales have doubled over what they were in the 10 years prior....
