Gohmert: Without a change to how children are taught, 'We're going to have to get rid of the Second Amendment'.
Fox News ^ | 12.15.2022 | Ronn Blitzer

The House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security held a hearing Thursday on finding a solution to gun violence, and the difference of opinion between Democrats and Republicans was put on full display. Passions ran high given the sensitivity of the issues involved, as liberal lawmakers focused on weapons and conservatives on the people who use them. Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-La., a former judge who handled felony cases, was in the latter group and focused on the need to instill morality in people, citing Judeo-Christian principles. He went so far as to say it is the bedrock of the nation's founding principles, and that the effectiveness of the Constitution depends on it.

The Constitution is dependent upon a moral people.

My response to Goemer is to not worry about how many people are getting killed. That’s how you clean up society eventually.

Nothing will work. It will be hell on earth.

A people not in control of themselves surely are not able to control their weapons properly either.

People need to be able to control themselves.

The Constitution is, for all its vaunted reputation, just words on paper. It takes a society of moral people to follow the principles, structure, and boundaries that are described within it. We are already at a point where a plurality of the country would be just fine with dispensing with the formality entirely and declaring itself rulers for eternity over the rest of the country, if only they could get over that majority threshold enough to throw the rulebook out.

The younger generation has been trending steadily leftward, not just socially, but also fiscally. Even those with right leaning political views embrace concepts that their parents would reject out of hand.

The 2nd amendment should NEVER be brought up as a possibility for repeal, no matter what the content or context of the discussion.

Undoubtedly, the related CNN headline will be “GOP Congressman calls for elimination of 2nd amendment”... which effectively will prove his point about issues of right, wrong, and moral conduct.

Let every single adult who wants to carry for their own protection carry. It’s the only way that starts working as soon as it’s tried. Most cities are turning into Dodge city these days and only firepower and the will to use it will ever clean it up. Yeah, it’s actually a war and we better get involved fighting it.

Little Sambo’s will be far less likely to brandish a weapon if they know others can take quick decisive defensive action. In other words, they may get shot if they pull out a gun.

A quote to your point.

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
