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."

keyhole-like tunnel vision... sad.
Nothing is worse than anything Akin or Mourdock said.
Actually, it is because the Founders knew that some people can live a long time without a functioning brain.
Thanks for the ping!
The recent pronouncements by these Democrats is downright scary. Muphy like Keith Ellison see US citizens as mere wards of an almighty government who owns them, and gives them things, but removes every God given right of life, liberty and the pursuit of their own destiny. This is pure Marxist fascism.
“This dooshbag wanted home invasions made a federal crime following a break-in in his district.
Just another ideologically knee-jerk, brain-dead, hyper-ambitious dhimmi
Ring around Uranus.”
Well stated!
Chris Murphy is too stupid to be an idiot. The express purpose of the Second Amendment IS to protect We The People from a potentially over-reaching or tyrannical government and among all the Founders we have James Madison to thank the most for it being included in The Bill of Rights. And if this stupid Democrat doesn’t think that’s the reason someone should ask him what the real reason for the 2A is.
You swore to uphold and protect the Constitution, not to pick and choose, no, you knew it going in.
I agree and I plan to take a hell of a lot of those SOBs with me! But I have no doubt that if it came down to it, 0bama and his boy Holder would have no qualms about using a Hellfire missile from a drone on ANY of us.
Ya.. I made this a few months back (on the same conversation of course)... left off my (c) so that people wouldn’t worry about re-using it (Anyone can use any pics I do, I just add the (c) on so that peeps know it’s original)..
I wish there was a way to spread this (and similar) far and wide, to get important messages through their (libs) thick stone(d) heads.
Copy the pic... post it on sites, print it up.. make stickies for car windows, etc... I am starting to believe that this IS the end of our nation.. and we cannot give up now.
Lol.. btw, I need to sub-categorize my pics bookmarks.. list is getting so long that it takes about 10 minutes to find the one I am looking for >.<) :p
