Matthews Machine-Guns 2nd Amendment: 'I Want People Disarmed'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/25/2008 5:52:34 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Living in the DC area, Chris Matthews has surely been stuck in traffic more than once behind someone sporting the classic NRA bumper sticker: "If Guns Are Outlawed, Only Outlaws Will Have Guns." Was Chris was listening too intently to NPR to consider the the truth of that pithy aphorism? You might think so, considering his anti-gun rant that seemed to assume that criminals, rather than law-abiding citizens, will obey restrictions on gun ownership.

On this evening's Hardball, riffing off Mitt Romney's Second Amendment defense during last night's GOP debate, Chris took aim at National Review's Deroy Murdock, a Giuliani backer.

Just kidding. I don't know who she is, but America needs more fems like her.

I'm getting my wife interested in handgun training and will be getting her, her own shooter.

Chris Matthews is not a conservative, nor a rightist. He is, however, a fascist.

I am using the term in the proper way.

The ones who most favor disarming people are big, mean, nasty people who like to beat up helpless, weak, old people and steal their stuff.

They should rename his show and call it sleaze-ball.

I was listening to Randi Rhodes(no flames, please) the other night, and she calls his show "Blue Balls." I gotta wonder who his audience is if the crackpot Left doesn't even like him.

If anybody missed this from a previous thread about the 2nd A., note that John Bingham, the main author of Sec. 1 of the 14th A., included the 2nd A. when he referenced the first eight amendments as examples of constitutional statutes containing privileges and immunities that the 14th A. made mandatory for the states to respect. So there is no doubt in my mind that the 2nd A. now protects the personal right to keep and bear arms from both the federal and state governments as much as any other constitutional privilege and immunity protects other personal rights. See the 2nd A. in the middle column of the following page from the Congressional Globe, a precursor to the Congressional Record.

If Mr. Matthews doesn't like our 2nd A. protections then he can lead the people to exercise their Article V power to amend the Constitution to repeal the 2nd Amendment.

Also, despite our 2nd A. protections, the Swiss have essentially made fools out of the USA, in my opinion, by successfully integrating firearms management into their culture, effectively reducing crime.

I think this country is clearly heading towards civil war.

Altavista finds over 54,000 references to the phrase "cold civil war".

Hey Chrissy, I'll give up my guns after you can prove that all criminals (including politicians and police) have been disarmed.

As you wish ...

I wouldn't disarm even then.

I'll be dead and buried a really long time before any criminals are disarmed.

No. But any gal, young or old, involved in weapons self defense training and practice warms my heart.

My daughter is shown in a family picture on my FR homepage.
