The Second Amendment is why we can’t go to school, or work, or a house of worship, or a nightclub, or a movie theater, or a music festival, or pretty much any public gathering without fear of getting shot to death. The Second Amendment is why you can’t be immediately arrested for openly carrying around an assault rifle in a public place, and why you can’t be immediately arrested for smuggling a hand-cannon in your gym shorts. The Second Amendment is how law enforcement justifies the need for military-grade armaments—to match the “firepower” they meet in the streets. The Second Amendment is why we have a generation of young people that is scarred or missing from gun violence. And the Second Amendment is why I had to tell my 6-year-old last night to act like Scaredy Squirrel and “play dead” if an “active shooter” storms his classroom, thereby mangling the whole moral of the books.

Textually, the amendment itself is almost toothless and easily amenable to regulation. Hell, “regulated” is written right into its text: A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
See. You don’t have to be a constitutional scholar to conclude that this amendment is talking about the need for “militias,” not an individual’s right to own a bazooka; and you don’t have to be a historian to noodle out that the founding fathers—who revolted against a global superpower—thought that state militias were pretty cool.

It was only in the 1970s that the National Rifle Association basically invented the new constitutional theory that the Second Amendment conferred a personal right to own military grade weapons for “self-defense.”

“After the Democrat government assault at Waco that killed children.....No gun control. Never.”
That’s where we stand.
Never. Never again.
There was a black liberal professor on Tucker tonight, AND he stated that black people better wake up and pay attention to history before agreeing to give up their right to defend themselves, normally I disagree with pretty much EVERYTHING this guy says but on this matter he IS SPOT ON!!!
“...Name one reason you need an AR-15....”
Here’s one more:
To keep my AK47 company on those long, cold nights in the bush.
This is why buffet prices are now $20 and $25 and up.
LOL!
Yep....so many great replies to the age old, absurd lib questions.
I thought that gal had a pithy reply.
I always thought it meant that, BECAUSE the militia must be well regulated, the citizens must have the right to keep and bear arms
As we were marching towards the Capitol, some chick got in my face hollering, 'Well regulated! Well regulated!'.
I'm from Georgia, below the Gnat Line. You just blow 'em off.
Nuts...
LOL
No.
Only ONE comma in the 2nd amendment. Period.
How are things going, old Dawg? Are some trees getting thirsty>
No libertarian would make that statement.
I had an highly educated uncle who claimed to be a libertarian.
He was in favor of government control of health care
He was against private ownership of firearms
He claimed the meaning of the 2nd amendment was contingent on the placement of a comma.
He voted 100% Democrat
It’s Time to Repeal—and Replace—the Second AmendmentIf there is ever a Convention of States, AKA Constitutional Convention, this will be the #1 item on the agenda...
The first Amendment will be #2 on the agenda (Thank you Social Media)
Guaranteed!
For me, ANYTHING they want is an automatic “NO”. No compromise, no surrender, and ZERO compliance.
This Right is non-negotiable; we’ve seen what happens when democrats/nazis/communists/redundancy alert disarm populations.
We are at war with these people. They will gladly use guns to take our guns so there are no guns in the hands of those who oppose them. That’s how unhinged they are. They are NUTZ.
This is EXACTLY why we have a 2A. To protect us from the likes of them.
I ain’t no tailor but I’m guessing that be a size 84/fat jacket he be wearing. He gonna die soon. Not from bein’ fat but from bein’ stupid.
His name is misspelled....it should be “Elly MissedAll!”
Let’s face it.. he is just a black shock jock that has a shingle saying he’s a lawyer.
Eat some more, big boy.
RE AK47 and AR-15 in The Bush:
You know, all in the spirit of good, old fashioned “Russian Collusion”...
This is plain B.S. ITS POLITICIANS DESTROYING THE USA!
The Second amendment isn’t about hunting deer or ducks. It’s about the government hunting us. Be it the King in the 1770s or the Dems in 2019. They may get them but they won’t come cheap.
