I don’t believe the Constitution can be amended to strip individuals of their God given rights. If it could, then it really isn’t a right.

Exactly. The “Bill of Rights” are inalienable rights.
But Connecticut is sixth in the death by knife category. source I reckon if there isn't going to be a gunfight, bringing a knife is OK.
I must note that over half of the victims are listed as "white", so banning white folks should reduce the murder rate by at least half, right?
It makes just as much sense to blame the victim as the tool rather than place the blame where it belongs--on a nutcase or criminal psychopath.
If laws against murder won't stop people from murdering others, what makes these nitwits think laws against guns will?
The Sandy hook shooting could have as easily been a slaughter with a machete or blunt instrument(s). There was no effective means present to defend against either of those, either.
These anti-freedom gun groups would not exist and would not be continuing their assaults on society’s true protectors were it not for the behind-the-scenes money that is available for them. They create groups to chase after the big dollars that wealthy leftists offer them. That is where the real explanation for these groups lies.
The Anti-gun people depend on people with Guns to enforce their ideology.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
CS Lewis
Thus tyranny advances, by popular acclaim.
2nd amendment: It’s The Law of the Land……
Ohhh that’s right! That’s only the case when the National Socialist Left deems it to be the case. ///sarc.
Wow! I hear that happening all over the places these days.
This announcement is particularly repugnant because it comes from the mouth of the most loathsome and vile of liars, Richard “Fake Vietnam Veteran” Blumenthal.
I had the misfortune to be present when he lied about his fictional “service” in Vietnam to a group of elderly citizens being commended for helping wounded vets from Afghanistan and Iraq. I didn’t know about his LIE at the time, but he spewed his false testimony to veterans of WWII and Korea without any hesitation. The fact that this bum is a U.S. Senator from my home state breaks my heart. Nothing that he says has a speck of credibility.
Banning swimming pools and peanut butter would save more kids then banning guns.
And they aren't going up against the "gun lobby", what ever that is, they are going up against 80 million gun owners and the Constitutional Rights of everyone in the country.
got my wife out of MA and she said it was the best move she had ever done. Now we live in St Augustine, St Johns county north east FL which is one of the most republican counties in the state.
red is republican , blue obviously the small college and the small black area.
We have no Dems here and my wife feels we are much more free .
Good luck at getting out of CT or New England.
wonder what the numbers are for drug deaths which never seem to be mentioned.
I hear ya. Wish we could do the same... we're stuck here for now unfortunately.
Any politician who engages in overturning the 2nd Amendment should be immediately removed from office and prosecuted for treason. 0bama has made treason fashionable whereas it should be punishable with a long prison term.
"Any change we can make that can save just one life,
Lets trade the blood for the millions who have died for our freedom for "just one life". Who can argue with that logic?
I refuse to treat him or any other of the other parents of SH who are running around for more gun control. They are politicians, not grieving parents. BTW, were are they getting the money to do this?
Ok, Ron. Do me a favor and go the south side of Chicago and tell me how the strictest gun laws in the nation are working.
Ban alcohol and drugs you gutless nutcase.
