Gunning Down The 2nd Amendment (See BS, need I say more)

CBS ^ | May 9 | Dick Meyer

[Leisler]

They are now called "taxpayers".

[Onesockjohnny]

"Dick"....in this case, the name says it all!

[M. T. Cicero II]

Yep! Read what they wrote!!! (Although, I give the guy credit to realize that the anti's need to use the constitutional device of repeal, instead of nickel and diming it in the lower courts). PS Dan, next itme you are in Lansing, I'd love to come out!

Dick shows us another example of how anti-gunners doublethink their way to conclusions like that.

Dick revealed in words what I believe anti-gunners are saying all along. On the one hand, the 2nd Amendment doesn't really say what it means and mean what is says. On the other hand, we anti-gunners really despise the 2nd Amendment.

What's more, why should we rely on what "legal scholars" have to say about this or that issue? If I were governor of a state, I probably would have thousands of infantrymen sent to my state to remove me from office and install a more compliant governor, because I would declare ALL unconstituional laws NULL AND VOID in my state.

The only truthful thing in that article is the that the guy who wrote it is, indeed, a Dick.

"So the time for pussy footing around is over. It’s time to repeal the Second Amendment. Bag it." (CBS News)

Just shows how out of touch with current events the "mainstream" media really is.

Under two years ago, Algore - who ran as the candidate of gun control - couldn't even win a majority of the states. It takes 38 state legislatures to approve amending the Constitution. What makes some talkinghead think that it is even possible to get 38 state legislatures to agree to throw out the Second Amendment - when many would have to be in Red Nation and every state legislator knows that making gun-bashing such a big part of his platform cost Algore the election under two years ago?

Other darlings of the commie elites - notably the Equal Rights Amendment, which lacked the enormous regional split - couldn't do it.

Scandals of antigun politicians, activists, lawyers, and journalists!

Frankly, I think the author is right about 1 thing. The left won't win a complete victory unless the 2nd amendment is repealed. The constitution is the law of the land and if they have the votes and power to change it legally then we would have to live with it. The constitution provides a process for doing it.

So much better to acknowledge the obvious intent of the amendment than the childish dancing around meanings and laws that transparently circumvent the intent.

[boris]

The Second Amendment contains only a single comma.

re: "Remember, attorneys general don’t make law; judges and Congress do."

They aren't even subtle that liberal judicial activists have stolen law-making powers from the Legislature. Maybe if they read their Constitution, they would realize that only the Legislature "makes law." Oh how I hate these socialist vermin.

[aomagrat]

Very, very few judges, prosecutors or government lawyers over the past 60 years (at least)have officially taken the position that an individual right to own guns exists.

So, the attacks on the Second Amendment coincides with the rise of global communism. Coincidence?

[Joe Brower]

Gee, what a coincidence. Little Dick pens this screed and I just got that new Savage FP 10 in .308 zeroed. Shoots sub-MOA in 15 mph crosswind using Black Hills 168gr HP Match and 165gr SP.

That'll do.

[PropheticZero]

(Remember, attorneys general don’t make law; judges and Congress do.)

Look I know that one of the gun grabbers favorite tricks is presidence from court cases...heck....its everyones. I have a question, aimed at those more read and with a better understanding of the consitution on this part that I have. When did judges start making laws? Did I not get the memo? I don't get out much but honestly?
