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.
That’s why I’m one of those that says that the Constitution doesn’t give us rights. Rather protects the god-given rights at the state can’t take away and that’s why there’s not an amendment regarding our right to murder.
Murder is not a right, natural, given by God, or anyone else. Self defense, on the other hand, is a right that exists exclusive or any document. The US Constitution limits the actions of government and specifically enumerates rights that were considered most important. Additionally, it does not limit those existing rights to those enumerated.
The framers of the Constitution intended to create a document to confirm those rights and limit government’s ability to interfere with them. It has worked reasonably well over the centuries, proving to be well written and durable.
Your argument is with the framers if you believe that you have the right to murder. I’m pretty sure they did not intend that or believe it.
It is not a ‘given’ Right. It is a ‘protected’ Right.
God gave humans free choice. That means as a human being you are free to choose to murder someone. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that we should murder people and nowhere in our constitution does it protect that right. And that is a good thing. It also doesn’t protect the right to Rob or steal or rape or any of those other things. Those are all things that God has given each individual the right to choose to do or not do. And that choice will have ramifications.
You're right Code, but Megan Hunt is WOKE AND STUPID - so she'll never know...
Also its no accident the labor union push began after the end of the Civil War as strong black laborers moved north to compete with northern whites. Labor lockout and gun control went hand in hand.
I think you are confusing ability with right.
A gun is a fist, is a club, is a knife...
The issue is defending oneself.
And there is this shallow official defending her and her party’s take on defense. She says “can’t do it.” So why is she defending?
Bet she wants someone to bomb something in Ukraine. Lol.
Actually what I’m saying, is that when it comes to God and your relationship with him, if you have the ability to do a thing, it means God has given you the right to choose to do it. But that doesn’t mean that it is a good thing. It’s all part of free choice.
But the ancient Mesopotamian laws as well as the Torah as well as our laws in the United States and in every other country are designed to preserve order. And that means that although people may have the god-given right to choose to do a thing, it will land them in prison or execution. So for me the bottom line is God gives you the right to choose to do good or do evil. But the state will sometimes put harsh penalties in this world on you for doing evil. And that’s how order is preserved. I like to put it this way, the less virtuous a people, the greater its need for laws.
A puritanical Christian who gives up their Natural rights (regardless of religion denominational “directive”— which is clearly subject to the interpretation of leaders of a sect/denomination) for self-protection needs to do some hard reflection. The “government” whom they give up their rights to, is not legitimate. The Social Christian Democrats gave in to the “RULE” of Hitler and the National Socialist German Worker’s Party, which also directed that Jews could not own any firearms. Those Christians were herded into the concentration death camps along with Jews, Gypsies, homos, Catholics and Lutheran clergy and believers. So— frankly- it is massive folly to follow “leaders” who instruct one on the basis of “religious” direction to give up a Natural Right.
In the case of the US Constitution’s Bill of Rights which are not separable from the Constitution whatsoever and which the Founders recognized was the last line of defense against Tyranny and imposed dictatorship (which the Founders escaped European Monarchical Tyranny)- the Second Amendment declared that any Government may not infringe the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, in the direct context of the People being the Militia needed to be maintained so a Govt. cannot remove a Free State, this self same People may NOT have their Arms, firearms or otherwise taken from them! Period. No Question. And no dissembling fractal subservient logic may substitute for the Right enshrined in our Constitution.
The Bible God commands us to submit to government unless it conflicts with our relationship with Him or with his directives to us. From a biblical standpoint, there is no “right”, except that of eternal damnation because of our sinful nature. Life is not fair. There is pain and suffering. Bad things happen to good people. God has His reasons. God has His plan. He never promised his followers an easy path, but the opposite. Our life here is brief.
Ah yes, your interpretation of what the Bible says— so we should return to Roman Pagan Tyranny, because it says so? No FRiend we in Western Civilization (which is a distinct thing from the old Pagan non-Western European monarchial derivative tyranny, and the current German run neo Socialist totalitarian model EU) have evolved in favor of human Freedom under God’s given Free Will. Free Will lets us make mistakes as opposed to acting and thinking as digital uni-robots for Biblical literalism. Our Founders knew this and developed our Constitution around the centuries of learning, allowing Freedom of Religion along with the responsibility of self-discipline (of the Scriptures or whatever for a moral construct) in defending our Free State under the consent of the governed. The self-governed. A rather large distinction which current liberal communists and media controllers are trying to finalize our destruction— ignoring our Constitution and altering it as a false “living “ document. To their Peril.
“... so we should return to Roman Pagan Tyranny, because it says so?”
I must have missed that part in the Bible. Society may have “evolved” since Biblical times, but that doesn’t change the matter. Any “rights” that we may benefit from today does not mean that we are entitled to them.
If God, through the governing authorities (which, according to the Bible, he has established), has granted a right, how can we be justified to disobey if those same authorities decide to revoke this right?
Anyway, you have strayed from the original argument. The question was: Is owning guns a God given right? I say, technically it is, until government - which functions under God’s rule - decides it isn’t.
Rights are not entitlements— again you have it twisted.
Natural rights are God-given. Period. Marx twisted his in his idiotic theft of the contents of his dialectic. Marxists within small c christianity and every other religion are legion, and they are evil. Pure evil.
“Natural rights are God-given.”
You can quote Locke, Enlightenment values, Age of Reason stuff all you want, but this doesn’t refute my assertion that the Biblical God gives and takes away rights as he as he sees fit through governing authorities, and Christians are commanded to submit to these governing authorities to the point that they don’t conflict with our relationship with Him or with his directives to us.
Nice try— Agit-Prop. Please describe which Testament Old and New that describes such a God. Christians are not commanded to submit. Islamics are, since Islam translates to the word- Submission. Free Will is in the Bible, and God gives us this in complete non-confliction with our relationship with Him. Hence the word “FREE” will, and if you choose poorly the all knowing God will understand as he acts to correct, being a merciful God.
Through discussing this. We’re done. You need a different pastor at a minimum.
“Please describe which Testament Old and New that describes such a God. Christians are not commanded to submit.”
“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)
