Trump's Mere Mention of the Second Amendment Sent Progressives Off the Deep End

During President Donald Trump's nationwide address on Monday evening, he announced his intent to use all federal resources to help stop the rioting and looting that's taking place across the country. He also mentioned that he would protect the rights of law-abiding citizens, including the right to keep and bear arms. Naturally, progressives and those who hate the Second Amendment were up in arms over the mention of the Second Amendment.

When I heard that I was pretty sure shannon t watts would stroke out over it. Waiting for 'moms lookin' for some action' to comment. Or at least pansy hogg.

Hogg is out this am with some nonsense that relatives were antifa in WW2. Guess it hasn’t sunk in that his fifteen minutes were up months ago.

[Scrambler Bob]

What! There is more than 1 Amendment in the Bill of Right?

They want to make it the Bill of Left.

[Cobra64]

The Donald did that on purpose to piss off the libs and also sending a signal that the good guys should feel comfortable defending themselves and property with a firearm.

[Scrambler Bob]

Aren’t and weren’t all US Service WWII vets ‘Anti-facism’?

[ClearCase_guy]

The Second Amendment should get the same protection as the First Amendment. Maybe more. That should be made very clear to the media. If you don’t support the Constitution, maybe the Constitution won’t support you.

Hogg is busy trying to find pictures of his grandfather marching with Antifa during WWII.

He just visited the shrine of St. John the second. Making things VERY clear.

Is there possibly a deeper end to go off of?

How can they be "up in arms" when they hate them?........................

[mad_as_he$$]

Yes. But the thing is that the current incarnation of antifa started out as Anti-First Amendment. They changed it when they thought it would benefit them against the imaginary “white supremacist”.

The POTUS plays these moronic communists like a fiddle....

“Yes. But the thing is that the current incarnation of antifa started out as Anti-First Amendment. They changed it when they thought it would benefit them against the imaginary “white supremacist”.

That is entirely false in every possible way.

[SmokingJoe]

Yup.
Given the way deep blue state mayors like de Blasio are deliberately allowing looting, arson and mayhem to run rampant, there is no question it's going to come down to the armed citizenry defending family and property.
We just haven't had enough anarchists shot yet.

Hey puke progressives! THE SECOND AMENDMENT!!!!! Image if they had there way and they somehow took away or guns,
f### them

[Mariner]

Their greatest fear is the right will awaken, with their 15million AR-15s.

It’s all fun and games when their only opposition is cops with rules.

But their nightmare is hunters on the street.

[ripnbang]

Who’s Hogg?

[firebrand]

It wasn’t a “mere mention,” as the headline says. He spoke it louder and clearer than anything else he said, and Trump does everything intentionally. He knows what’s coming.

[Cobra64]

The city rats will discover they’re in deep xxxx living in an anti-second amendment location. Those of us in the country have a nice selection of wood and steel at hand on the wall or in the safe.
