Manchin calls for ‘common sense’ gun limits, resists filibuster reform
The hill ^ | 05/24/2022 | Mike Lillis

Posted on 05/24/2022 5:52:12 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) on Tuesday lamented the lack of Senate support for tougher gun laws following a mass shooting in Texas hours earlier but rejected the notion of eliminating the filibuster for the purpose of passing such a bill.

Manchin noted that he has three grandchildren similar in age to the victims at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, where at least 14 kids and one teacher were shot and killed.

Not more gun laws.

This murderer was insane and killed people.

We can identify the insane.

Many rational government people killed women and children at Waco.

How do they explain that one?

Not more gun laws.

Gun control came about in 1968. How is it working out for you America! YOU wanted it!

“Today we begin to disarm the criminal and the careless and the insane. All of our people who are deeply concerned in this country about law and order should hail this day.”-— Lyndon Johnson signing the 1968 gun control act into law.

The State Supreme Court of GA gave a great reading on the 2nd Amendment.

* Nunn v. State, 1 Ga. (1 Kel.) 243, at 251 (1846).

“’The right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed.’ The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State.”

And in the Dred Scott Decision Taney tried show why Blacks were not citizens of the US by listing what rights Citizens had, and one of those rights was ...”To keep and carry arms wherever they went.”

Chicago has very restrictive gun control laws, yet the cities black thugs (yes I said black) commit 40 murders every week. When is the lesbian Groot mayor going to doing something about it?

““Common sense” gun laws = Constitutional Carry.”

Exactly.

“Spare me the bullshit about mental illness. We don’t have any more mental illness than any other country in the world,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) reportedly said after delivering a speech on the Senate floor.

Sure we do. And we deal with it everyday.

It is the lies coming from liberalism; Democrat Socialism and the influence they have on impressionable young adults.

Here’s you “common sense”, Joe:

The right of the people to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.

End of discussion.

That's right. You don't cure mental illness by endulging it's fantasies. You make it worse, and they are doing it deliberately.

Gun control came about in 1968.

It goes back a lot farther than that. As in 1860s ... democRATs didn't want newly freed Negroes able to defend themselves.
