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.
Must be from Omaha or Lincoln
Getting elected does not make you god either.
NE state senators run without partisan designation on the ballot.
Wow, about as far left as they come.

What is wrong with the people in Nebraska?
Perhaps we should ask what the Founding Fathers and early jurists had to say about the 2nd.
You really need to read the highly suppressed 1982 Senate report on the RKBA. I have a paper copy.
Here is an on line copy of this out of print and hard to find book.
https://guncite.com/journals/senrpt/senrpt.html
“The conclusion is thus inescapable that the history, concept, and wording of the second amendment to the Constitution of the United States, as well as its interpretation by every major commentator and court in the first half-century after its ratification, indicates that what is protected is an individual right of a private citizen to own and carry firearms in a peaceful manner.”
19th century cases
16. * Wilson v. State, 33 Ark. 557, at 560, 34 Am. Rep. 52, at 54 (1878).
“If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the (p.17)penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of constitutional privilege.”
17. * Jennings v. State, 5 Tex. Crim. App. 298, at 300-01 (1878).
“We believe that portion of the act which provides that, in case of conviction, the defendant shall forfeit to the county the weapon or weapons so found on or about his person is not within the scope of legislative authority. * * * One of his most sacred rights is that of having arms for his own defence and that of the State. This right is one of the surest safeguards of liberty and self-preservation.”
18. * Andrews v. State, 50 Tenn. 165, 8 Am. Rep. 8, at 17 (1871).
“The passage from Story (Joseph Story: Comments on the Constitution) shows clearly that this right was intended, as we have maintained in this opinion, and was guaranteed to and to be exercised and enjoyed by the citizen as such, and not by him as a soldier, or in defense solely of his political rights.”
19. * Nunn v. State, 1 Ga. (1 Kel.) 243, at 251 (1846).
“’The right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed.’ The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State.”
And the SCOTUS case that led to the Civil War..
Are Negros citizens...Dred Scott
“It would give to persons of the negro race, who are recognized as citizens in any one state of the Union, the right to enter every other state, whenever they pleased.... and it would give them full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might meet; to hold public meetings upon political affairs, and to KEEP AND CARRY ARMS wherever they went.”
That would be 'arm'. Firearm is a limitation of your freedoms and rights.
Omaha midtown.
Or even a more up to date example...
She is working as a fast food worker and a big angry whale bursts in and starts shooting up the place because there aren’t enough ketchup packets in the bag...
She either fails to grasp or insists on denying that the Second Amendment was written to clearly identify such inalienable rights and that the government, of which she is a part of, has no right to infringe on them.
None of what I posted is in contrast to what you stated. You overcomplicate the discussion. My statements were simple:
* God establishes governing authorities.
* Christians are to submit to governing authorities, to the point until with our obligation to follow God.
If we lived under a government which made gun possession illegal, can we, as Christians, refuse to relinquish our guns under the pretext that it violates our God given obligation to protect our family? I don’t believe so.
If we lived under a government which we were obligated to worship our leaders as gods, should we, as Christians, refuse? Yes.
Of course there are grey area issues in-between on which we must pray and follow our convictions.
Same people who elected her elected Ben Sasse.
Being a Senator certainly is not a "God-given right".
This person is unsuitable for public office and should be removed.
Then vote her out at the earliest opportunity.
Just because a dingbat democrat, Megan Hunt says owning a gun is not a god given right does not make it so! She is just spouting what democrats think!
Same for Assistant Democrats Ben Sasse and Deb Fischer.
LOL..... Hara Kiri. Likes that’s ever going to happen.
The Constitution does not “give” Rights. The 2nd Amendment describes a God Given Right which the Constitutional government as described therein MAY NOT be taken away, and more precisely— A Militia (all of the People bearing arms) being necessary... the RIGHT of the People to Keep and Bear Arms shall not be infringed.
What this idiot state senator is doing by saying (and she is sworn under Oath NOT to do this) the Right is not God-Given— she is, in fact VIOLATING the Constitution and the 2nd Amendment. Period. She should be made to resign her State Senate position so that she can say all this shite as a private citizen not so foresworn.
She’s a bisexual single mom. No matter how cute, bad idea to get involved with her. Sorry Laz.
Thank you!
