Nebraska Senator Megan Hunt Says Owning Guns Isn't a God Given Right
Super "woke" Nebraska senator Megan Hunt tweets,
"Owning a gun isn't a "God-given right." It's a slave-owning, misogynistic founding father-given right. I'm not against 2a, but be real - the Constitution was written by people! Today I'm filibustering a bill that would allow concealed carry without training or a permit. #NELeg"
There's nothing more annoying than the super woke millennial Karen.
People like Megan Hunt don't see people as humans they see people as nothing more than a walking talking canvas of Identity politics.
Megan Hunt attempts to point out how the people who drafted the Second Amendment were slave-owning misogynists.
As a result, all the black folk and women should see themselves as victims of the Second Amendment instead of being empowered by it.
This logic is ironic considering the first Gun Control Laws were racist as F**K!
Everyone on this planet has a natural right to self-defense, and the most effective tool to defend life is a firearm; therefore, we have a natural right to own a firearm.
The Second Amendment doesn't give us that right, the second Amendment was written to protect our natural right to own a firearm.
It's clear as day that Megan Hunt doesn't know or understand what the Second Amendment means and she's a senator.
Dumb, clueless broad.
The 1791 Bill of Rights were listed, on paper, because the founders knew the government would try to overstep its authority and control. It’s a reminder of God given or “inherent” rights which NO ONE can alter, infringe or bypass.
Man... I’m still not too old.
Wonder if Megan would feel the same way after a mugger beat the hell out of her? Everyone has the right to protect themselves no matter what it takes; a firearm is still the best defense at the moment.
Um... No.

The Nazis guarding the Warsaw ghetto would have strongly agreed with her.
And the Russians invading Ukraine. And the Imperial Japanese military in 1941.
How can any of that be construed to mean that you cannot use a firearm in defense of your own life or your own liberty?
For Christians, our earthly "rights" are received from God through governing authorities.
“Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.” (Romans 13:1)
"Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority," (1 Peter 2:13)
"Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good," (Titus 3:1)
So Christians should submit to civil authority up to the point where it directly conflicts with our obligation is to follow God.
“But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men,” (Acts 5:29)
See my post #12 above.
Oops, post #29.
Yet the people have the perfect right and duty to overthrow a tyranny which enslaves people. And guns are necessary for that.
Oops, post #29.
She would probably apologize for the mugger for the tough life that brought him to this place.
I am not kidding.
Here is a real live example of a retired lefty politician doing exactly that!:

Really? Then why do we have a trigger finger?
It’s clear as day that Megan Hunt doesn’t know or understand what the Second Amendment means and she’s a senator.
Ok, what is it necessary for?
The 2nd isn’t about guns, what is it about? Look at all the words.
Hey Megan chew on this.
The govt. does not give you rights, otherwise they would be privileges and license-able. The Constitution, which yes was created by very wise men, guarantees that people like you will not be able to infringe, or take away those rights. The 2nd Amendment is the tool which we as citizens can use to insure those rights.
Did God tell her that or was it the red colored guy with the horns and tail.
Ditto for your obligation to prevent your family, and for that matter any innocent party, from unjust aggression.
A deeper understanding of the Bible, and even of just plain philosophy and logic, shows that there is such a thing as natural law and natural rights. These laws and rights pre-existed Scripture and in fact are assumed by it. (Murder didn't become wrong because God declared it to be so on Sinai. It was already wrong. The commandment merely codified the law for slow learners.)
Just and Godly governments protect these rights. In our system, if the government is unjust and unGodly, we should work to change it, since it governs in our name. One such natural right is the right to self-defense.
A right presupposes the means to exercise it, hence, for a law-abiding citizen to own arms is guaranteed by natural law, and it is objectively sinful for anyone to deny such a citizen the right to such ownership.
You may be right - it could have been Soros...
