Then the Second Amendment is nothing more than an ornament.
Thank you for the post dragnet2 but that post you’re quoting isn’t mine but I agree none the less. This loss is profound and deep. It isn’t just our party, it’s beyond that. The GOP still clings to the idea of the ‘’loyal opposition’’ bs. Because conservatives by nature tend to be civil we allowed thugs, political gangsters, obnoxious and pugnacious Leftist of all stripes to goad us and then cow us with the ‘’civility’’ argument. As a former liberal and confessed former obnoxious agitator I’ve tried to tell conservatives you can’t be this way, not with garbage like Barack Obama or Chris Matthews. They’re listened to because they’re the loudest in the room. No one is going to remember Caspar Milquetoast, they’re going to remember the guy who spoke loudly and swung a big stick. Principles and civility don’t mean squat when you lose. We have been shouted at, accused of and branded as the extremists by this Democrat garbage , well it’s high time we played by their rules. If the GOP is going to survive we’re going to have to start kicking ass(literally) and taking names.
I think you could probably say that about the Bill of Rights in its entirety, except to the extent that portions can be used to force leftist policy down the throats of unwilling Americans. But even if the regime ceases to recognize the Second Amendment, many will continue to exercise the God-given right it acknowledges.
