And now the left openly calls for tyranny. Their spots revealed at last...

[Slings and Arrows]

This guy should be put on display in a museum. He’s the world’s rarest object: An intellectually honest leftist.

"One of the things that they believed was that the right of states to organize militias, and therefore individuals to be armed, was necessary to protect the liberty of those states against the federal government," Wittes said. "This is something we don't really believe as a society anymore."

Just who is this "we" - got a mouse in your pocket?

[TChris]

Never underestimate the ability of an intellectual to ignore pertinent facts.

“then it is time to refresh the liberty tree.”

now and again, the tree of liberty must be nourished with the blood of patriots and tyrants....it is its’ natural manure.

(what beautiful prophetic words.)

Repeal Second Amendment, Analyst Advises

Over a LOT of dead people's bodies.

[Beckwith]

This anal-ist’s name really should be Half Witte.

[traviskicks]

“The Second Amendment guarantees the right of an individual to own guns and for that reason should be repealed, according to a legal affairs analyst who opposes gun ownership.”





Libertarian ping! To be added or removed from my ping list freepmail me or post a message here.

Compare both parties platforms in the 1950’s/early 60’s to the actions of so called conservative politicians today. Hoover would of thought the communist have taken over.

The gist is once the powers that be start talking about the extreme, those extremes of today become the norms of tomorrow.

Collectivist are feeling there oats because the electorate are too ignorant, keep our powder dry.

No Guns ~ No Rights!

Over a LOT of dead people's bodies.

His being one of the first.

[Cymbaline]

Well, at least he’s honest.

[Sender]

Great idea! There are a plethora of countries out there who have no rights to be armed. Most of them, in fact. Let the hoplophobes simply move where they are comfortable.

[Ohioan]

Mr. Wittes understands very little about the importance of individual responsibility in a free or successful society:

The Responsibility Factor.

that rather than try to limit gun ownership through regulation that potentially violates the Second Amendment, opponents of gun ownership should set their sights on repealing the amendment altogether

The Bill of Rights weren't independent amendments, they were preconditions for ratification. When the Constitution was first ratified, there weren't nine states with unconditional ratifications - the nine states threshold was met only by including those states that ratified only on the precondition that a Bill of Rights be included.

In other words, should the Bill of Rights be repealed, in whole or in part, the Constitution would no longer be ratified, and the Federal Government would no longer have any legitimacy.

Of course, no government has legitimacy absent the consent of the government, and no people who have been disarmed have can consent (consent being meaningless unless refusal of consent can be enforced). So the fundamental truth is that no government that infringes on the IRKBA can be legitimate.

But in the case of the US, it's direct and immediate. No 2nd Amendment == no legitimate federal government.

[Rodney King]

I think this guy is actually being quite honorable, admitting what he wants. 99% of the anit-gunners lie about their real intentions.

[Xenophon450]

Repeal it, I dare you. You just have to ask yourself one question... Do you feel LUCKY, punk?

[basil]

Ping!
