Stevens is a liar. He should never sit on another 2A case. Or an other case for that matter.
FU Stevens!
All because cowardly cops did nothing while children were being shot.
A senile old man out of touch with reality.
Another fraud disguised as an intellectual jurist
Thanks, Ford
Keep talking you Leftist morons.
You all are talking the Dems right out of winning the House.
Notice that the anti gun hysterics correspond exactly with the recent improvement in the GOP position on the generic ballot?
The missed fact of the 2016 election is Guns won it for Trump. Dems lost Northern ME, MI, WI and just about lost MN for the 1st time since 1972.
Why? Because in OCt Hillary and her surrogates started talking about “Executive Orders on guns”.
All those areas have strong hunting tradition in traditional blue collar Democrat voting strongholds. Not a lot will penetrate the fog of knee jerk party loyalty in these areas but talking about taking sways gun rights will.
Randy weavers wife and son are unavailable for comment.
This was a staged protest with exaggerated turnout. They aren’t repealing anything.
This would make a great billboard in Montana and Missouri. I’d bet my house the cheap labor express GOP donors can’t be bothered to attack the Dems with this. They’d much rather punish POTUS for no amnesty by working against him on The Hill.
smarmy know-it-all ping
“Today that concern is a relic of the 18th century.”
That way of thinking is exactly why we need the Second amendment.

At 97....He’s lost his wits...or maybe never really had them. Wonder who wrote this for him.
This is really the only way that should be allowed. All laws infringing upon the 2nd amendment should be invalidated by the US Supreme Court and all courts. Then, if anyone wants to change the constitution, the 2nd amendment, propose that change in their state house, and get the constitutionally required agreement of states to make the change. Until then, keep the laws and hands off our guns.
Justice Stevens had originally wanted to amend the Second Amendment to say you have a right to keep firearms in your house, and carry firearms outside your house, “while serving in a militia”.
Now he wants to repeal it all.
There’s nowhere left for him to go after that.
As far as I know, Jeff Bezos' blog is closed to free viewing. I know the link is useless, included just in case somebody has use for it. Meanwhile, for the headline alone, the left is playing bad cop, good cop.
How is that concern a relic?
It is much more a concern today as the federal government continues to grow in size and influence.
The only way that I see it being out-dated is that the states and the "militia" have much, much less power than the federal government any more. The second amendment may not be able to provide the protection it was meant to any longer.
I might start caring if John Paul Jones chimes in with an opinion.
John Paul Stevens - well, not so much.
Every leftist wants to repeal the Second Amendment.
How about we disband the FBI? If they had done their job, act on intel about the crazy kid who threatened to shoot up the school, Cruz would have been picked up and nothing would have happened.
