House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC) says the Bill of Rights in the Constitution does more harm than good in todays society. When I see how people are abusing the Second Amendment. No telling what theyd do with the First Amendment. I think there would be a strong support against the Bill of Rights. I run into people every day who would like to see so much of those guarantees uprooted.
The whip said he was pleased to see such overwhelming support for severely restricting the right to bear arms from all of our Democratic presidential candidates. This unanimity stems from a perception of solid majorities who will vote for candidates who will take guns away from private citizens for their own good. In an ideal world, only the government would have firearms. This would greatly reduce unauthorized shootings while simultaneously reassuring armed government agents that resistance to their authority would be futile.
While the abuse of freedom of speech doesnt have the immediate fatal impact that abuse of the right to bear arms does, the potential long-term consequences are just as concerning, Clyburn added. As we saw in Germany, the hate-filled speeches of a lone lunatic led to a worldwide conflict that cost the lives of millions. We have the technology now to police the statements of everyone in the country and can nip any bad ideas in the bud. We shouldnt have to put up with the kind of anti-government views that seem to continually emanate from the right-wingers in our midst. I think if it were put on the ballot, voters would approve sensible censorship aimed at suppressing unacceptable political points of view.

Thank you!
So sad that this clown will get relected forever.
The Democratic theme song is not the battle Hymen of the Republic - but the battle hymen for a Banana Republic!
“House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC) says the Bill of Rights in the Constitution does more harm than good in todays society.”
The Democrats have always declared the Constitution is a living document. By that they mean it can be interpreted however they want it to be interpreted
He is a hypocrite. If he truely wanted to do away with 1A he would show by example and STFU.
And then, these Democrats wonder why they are considered Anti-Americans, and why people dislike them. Their hellbent lies and deceit of trying to do everything possible to destroy our Constitutional Republic to insure that they have total power and control over us will not work and will be their downfall.
