“Those who would counsel disarming ourselves are first ignorant of History, next ignorant of current events and third probably members of some despotism that wants to overthrow this government.”
!!!
I mean seriously, read this, and remember he was sitting on the Court during its District of Columbia v. Heller decision. It's infuriating. He may be recycling his already-stated opinions, but it's clear he's doing so again at an opportunistic time.
Yeah. They just don’t understand the word “disdain”.
IF they can repeal the 2nd based on false stats, fear mongering and “for the children”, all the rest can be repealed using the same method.
Shove the old bastard John Paul Stevens head first into the nearest crematorium,
Add Enema Gonzalex, the Cuban lesbo, and triangle facred Davie Hogg in there with him.
At least he admits that the 2nd Amendment was created as a defense against standing armies.
Notice that he does not promote getting rid of a standing army...only the 2nd amendment.
To me, they go part and parcel. Can’t do one without the other.
This is an extremely important admission from a former Supreme Court Justice!
The 2nd amendment has nothing to do with hunting, or home protection. It was created to protect ourselves from a standing army controlled by the Federal government.
He calls the 2nd a relic of our past. And, yet, here we are with the largest, most technologically advanced standing army that the United States has ever had. If anything, the 2nd is more important today than ever before.
“These demonstrations demand our respect.”
This guy is a special kind of stupid.
No, the Bill of Rights demands respect. We don’t need to respect the voices of children being manipulated by the left.
Come and take them, Sally!
“IF they can repeal the 2nd based on false stats, fear mongering and for the children, all the rest can be repealed using the same method”
9/11 was used to chip away at the 4th...via the Patriot Act. Look at the government electronic surveillance that we have now.
Gay rights are being used to chip away at the 1st. Look at the Christian baker case.
The left is dismantling the Bill of Rights!
Further... neither they nor their immediate family members shall reside in communities not equally accessible by all citizens. IOW, no gated communities.
I grew up in the UK. When I talk to family about the right to bear arms I also inject that it also includes the right to organize and train together, in military tactics, as an organized militia.
Jaws drop. I don’t believe many American’s realize how foreign of a concept our 2A is.
Yeah....how hard could it be?
(roll eyes)
So, in the UK, is it well know that the king reneged on the Magna Carta? The Magna Carta didn’t grant any rights, force of arms did.
The sentiments of those in power toward repealing the right to bear arms is exactly why the 2nd Amendment is so critically important.
based on a lie. In oral arguments before the court, the government lied (surprise!) and said sawed off shotguns are not used by the military, when in fact they had been used to great effect in WWI in the trenches of France.
Stevens is a liar. He should never sit on another 2A case. Or an other case for that matter.
” And who the hell is John Paul Stevens anyway?”
Who uses their middle name like that? This dickhead must think he is pope, or John Paul Jones.
FU Stevens!
