If the majority of today’s public hadn’t been fed a steady diet of this trip in school, with virtually no counter, this idiot wouldn’t be able to get away with publishing such outright lies.

I’m just going to guess that Feinstein didn’t suggest that the NFL stop allowing hoodrats into the league or preventing players from going to strip clubs and night clubs during the season.

And I’m guessing that he isn’t going to suggest that there be instituted some kind of One Strike policy for criminals in the NFL (would might otherwise be in jail already if not for their physical gifts and NFL security bailing them out of criminal situations).

Clearly no one needs to raise a militia these days...

Actually, there's never been a better time to raise a militia.

“What’s more, the issue of gun rights causes almost as much screaming from the right as abortion rights, the irony being that those yelling the loudest about the right to life are usually those yelling almost as loud about their right to carry weapons that kill.”

I’ve heard this argument, in several variations (death penalty, etc.), from lefties over the years. The fundamental (no pun intended) flaw is always the same: they create the false argument that an unborn child is morally equivalent to whatever it is they are criticizing.

It is patently absurd to say that wanting legal protections for an unborn innocent is somehow equivalent with owning and (if necessary) using a firearm to protect oneself against harm to life and limb.

"it was written to allow the people to raise a militia for protection"

It was also needed for citizens to be able to protect themselves, their families, their homes, and their property from those who would take what is not theirs or cause them harm. (Most of those who would do so are known today as Obama's voterbase).

Suggesting that the gun grab is a needed effort, this fool doesn't walk the streets of New York or Washington D.C. at night, I'm sure.

To his credit, at least he attacks the 2nd Amendement openly, instead of trying to give a different interpretation that is opposite of the intent. Other liberals usually take the latter route.

To begin with, the amendment should be abolished — a sensible interpretation of the amendment is that it was written to allow the people to raise a militia for protection and to hunt for food. Clearly no one needs to raise a militia these days, and those who hunt for a living can be licensed to do so.”

*******

Clearly, Feinstein is an idiot and a wuss. Sensibilities such as his will lead to tyranny.

George Washington: “Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the people’s liberty teeth (and) keystone... the rifle and the pistol are equally indispensable... more than 99% of them [guns] by their silence indicate that they are in safe and sane hands. The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference [crime]. When firearms go, all goes,
we need them every hour.” (Address to 1st session of Congress)

Good luck trying to see it repealed. The Dems don't have a two-thirds majority in Congress.

The sheer stupidity of that statement is beyond belief.

And, the fact that it was written in regards to a damned football player...a football player, people, is equally astounding.

We are surrounded by idiots, from the damned fool that wrote the above pap, to the breathtakingly witless fools that actually think the actions of a damned football player actually rise to the level of argument about the viability of the US Constitution and our Bill of Rights.

We ain't going to hell in a hand basket...we are already there.

America, I weep for your future.

One thing that President Obama will probably succeed in doing is officially end the Cuban embargo, and, in return, Cuba will allow its athletes to become professionals on the worldwide stage. Tons of Cuban boxers and Cuban baseball players would go professional.

It would be nice if President-elect Obama had the time to focus his energies on repeal of the Second Amendment, ...

I wish he had the time to do that, too. It would take up his time on an impossible task and take away time that he could be screwing up something else.

Why, has the threat of tyranny grown more remote in the last 219 years? I hadn't noticed.

No words can describe all that’s wrong with this man and his thought processes.

Thank G_d he’s nothing more than a simple sports commentator and has no power to enforce his will on us lesser beings.

Why are all “journalist” MORONS?
If the 2nd Adment was about hunting the very intelligent and common sense writers of the Constitutuon would have used the term hunter in it. They did not. They did not because unlike what the idiot write suggests it was not about hunting food. The entire Constitution was written to PROTECT THE PEOPLE FROM THE GOVERNMENT. There for the founders wanted the CITIZENS, not the Government’s National Guard or Army or Navy to have the RIGHT to bear arms.

Better get used to it, y’all. Childish thinkers like this feel they have a mandate following zero’s election. It’s just going to get worse.

So the NFL is responsible for the criminal miss use of hand guns, and not Plaxico Burres.

Agenda driven drivel.

Feinstein is a jackass and neither the Bill of Rights nor any part of it is going to be repealed. However, he has a point; the players have a constitutional right to bear arms but they have no constitutional right to be football players. If the NFL wanted to make it a rule that gun owners couldn't be players, they would face lawsuits but probably prevail.

As a state judge Oliver Wendell Holmes decided that a rule barring cops from politicking was constitutional for similar reasons. the cop had a right to free speech but no constitutional right to be a cop.
