During a May appearance on Rachel Maddow Lean Forward Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said gun rights are not "God-given" and any claim that the Founding Fathers wanted U.S. citizens armed so they could repel a tyranny "is insane."
Murphy said, "The Second Amendment is not an absolute right, not a God-given right. It has always had conditions upon it like the First Amendment has."
This is disturbing language from a sitting Senator, especially when you consider that the First Amendment opens with the phrase "Congress shall make no law" and the Second Amendment states that the right to keep and bear arms "shall not be infringed."

I saw this Murphy guy when he was 18 years old. He was a future tyrant. He came to my door looking for a vote circa late-90s. He got an earfull then.
Needless to say my CT exit wasn’t soon enough. The Northeast are inviting the wrath of the Almighty One like never before.
And I don’t mean obama.

Excellent graphic!
"... but which historically has proved to be always possible."
Today's leftist traitors (to humanity) try to deny the most basic truths of life.

I don’t think Progressives are required to read and understand the Constitution.

all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable RightsAh yes, IMO one of the primary reasons the push to remove God from society.
No God, no unalienable rights.

Both men were from a time where Democrats still loved this country and understood its founding principals. days gone by, I’m afraid. The Deomcrat party is now largely the party of self hating anti-Americanism. The jig is up and has been up for some time. Right now, I hear/see words like this spilling from their traitorous maws and I cannot help but think of them as fighting words, and that the time is very near to take up arms. Very near.

I guess this Murphy loser never heard of an inalienable right.

Well then, how exactly are we supposed to stop a tyranny if we cannot have arms ?
To: SoFloFreeper
Senator Murphy is the very reason why the citizenry has the right to be armed!
Against the likes of him!
This is not rocket science - this is the plain fact of history.

There are only 2 amendments that D’s think are in the constitution: Separation of Church and State and the Right to Abortion.
Sigh.
Would it kill them to read it?

Thanks SoFloFreeper.
"The Second Amendment is not an absolute right, not a God-given right. It has always had conditions upon it like the First Amendment has."
The Second Amendment comes right behind the First because some people are hard of hearing.

This obvious idiot apparently never bothered to read the Federalist Papers, or the Constitutional debates.
If the Founders were "insane" how did they create the greatest republic which has ever existed, until functional elected retards like him came along?
