Back in October, after the Las Vegas Shooting, New York Times columnist Bret Stephens argued that the Second Amendment should be repealed. Since Wednesday's shooting in South Florida, Stephens' OpEd has re-circulated across social media, which eventually led to another OpEd pushing for repealing the Second Amendment.
Then there are the endless liberal errors of fact. There is no “gun-show loophole” per se; it’s a private-sale loophole, in other words the right to sell your own stuff. The civilian AR-15 is not a true “assault rifle,” and banning such rifles would have little effect on the overall murder rate, since most homicides are committed with handguns.

If and when an Article V Constitutional Convention is ever called, one can take to the bank before it is convened that there will be another slaughter by someone using and assault weapon
Like I say, I’m not arguing with you - but we’ve already lost that battle - Social Security says it all.
I agree. Let’s TRY.

Constitutionalists need to know their representatives who need to be replaced, and anti-constitutionalists need to know who to reject.
Sorry to hear that. That makes you either a POW or MIA. You’ve either surrendered to tyranny or have fled the fight.
But the fight is on and Trump is just the beginning. The good fight of faith and freedom is worth whatever it takes. The Left is willing to go all in and we MUST also go all in. If we do, we will win because the Divine Providence of Almighty God is with us.
MAGA by restoring our Free Constitutional Republic.
No, takes some steps to reform a mental health system that demands a crazy, clearly on his way to be a mass shooter, has to be “mainstreamed” instead of institutionalized.
The Toll to NYT Columnist. Let’s fight to the death and see who wins?
I’ll be happy to discuss repealing the 2nd Amendment...right after we repeal “freedom of the press” from the 1st when it’s used to undermine the Constitution.
Partly, but not quite. ROTC is for potential officers. Had that State program required compulsory military training of the entire cohort as a matter of citizenship, Cruz' problems would have been identified and treated.
The President, as commander in chief, can order that the militia be trained under State command by simply finding that they are not "well regulated;" i.e., not combat ready. Congress has power to set the specifications for training and equipment.
There is a lot to ponder in that article. I hope you enjoy it.
NYT Comic: Let’s Repeal the Second Amendment
Bret Stephens has been a useless crank for years, with nothing more to offer than his Zio/Israel grudges. the only good thing about him writing for the NYT is that more people can see what a waste of space he is.
How about posting it here at FR for those who do not have FB?
This man is simply crazy!
Exactly.
Anytime a media entity prints or broadcasts lies about about a person or business, they are to be heavily fined and hit with punitive damages.
If they deliberately lie and it is shown that they did so, that entity is shut down and the liars do hard time.
