It’s impossible for the commies and Nazis to take total control of America with so many pesky Americans still living here and being armed.

That's why they are so determined to disarm us. This is all going to end up in a real sh!tstorm, because the lefties and the liberal useful idiots who carry their water are going to push freedom-loving Americans to the point where the original intent of the 2nd Amendment becomes obvious. So be it.

The Republican mentioned the opportunity to do harm with knives and bats. CNN Tonight's Lemon reiterated, "...Having a gun offers people a unique opportunity and advantage to kill multiple at a time, to do injury that may be far greater than any of those other instruments that you mentioned."

Lemon must have missed the last three seasons of "Vikings" on the History Channel.

The best way to avoid massive amounts of gun violence, Mr. Lemon, is to not even think about coming to get ours.

That's a fact.

And Don, since you are an openly gay Black man does the shooting make you want to take down the Rainbow flags?

...”It’s impossible for the commies and Nazis to take total control of America with so many pesky Americans still living here and being armed.”...

This is the main reason law abiding citizens have guns. It is self protection against a potential tyrannical government who might wish to eliminate their opponents the old fashioned way, by killing them, starving them or enslaving them. As long as American can legally own guns, enemies like that might think twice about trying those things.

What a pipe dream to try to keep guns out of the hands of people, except police, etc. You will NEVER, NEVER, keep guns out of the hands of the bad people. There is always a way to get them. Heck, you can even print your own gun nowadays. So, the libs would rather have the innocent, law abiding people be sitting ducks waiting to be picked off. Schools should always have at least one trained person on campus at the bare minimum to protect our students.

Slowly but surely black conservatives are comming forth accepting the reality that Obama created this hyphenation of Americans using race for his own political purposes. Which I’ve been posting here in FR’s for years was employed as a political tactic to defer any constitutional questioning action of the 1st branch by the 2nd branch of government.

Here is what they’re saying

The sad part is we do have a black candidate now in second place in current polling running for POTUS who has yet to speakout on this matter. Until he will he does not deserve consideration to be our POTUS

I don't understand why we do not discuss the basics:

That we spent so far one trillion dollars on an attempt to eliminate drugs.

Have we?

Drugs are everywhere today in spite of all of that money. Money wasted.

Have we eliminated drug related murders, burglaries, home invasions?

No

What do we have for our money?

A government that tells us we dare not travel or even walk the streets with more than one thousand dollars on us or we are apt to lose it. Not to thieves, but to the cops.

That we can not pay our bills in cash, as that would appear to be “structuring”.

That license readers, facial readers, etc. are everywhere tracking us.

That our phone calls are tracked if not monitored.

That medical practitioners are now being told how they can treat patients in pain. Cancer patients and terminally ill now have to have someone constantly fighting the system in order to get relieve from their pain.

We have lost too many freedoms to be listed here, but the point is that for the one trillion dollars, we not only have no success, but instead a major loss in our freedom.

More people own guns than use drugs, so the black market in guns would dwarf the drug business.

Anyone who talks about eliminating guns is a fool.

Hopefully Doctor Carson has come around - he once had ideas a bit worse than those tossed around by those who dislike Trump. I trust Trump with the 2nd Amendment more than I trust Carson.

That said - GO CRUZ!!!

“The 2nd Amendment does no such thing. It “gives” nothing. It prohibits the gov’t from restricting our pre-existing right to keep and bear arms, which in turn flows from our pre-existing right to self-defense, which further derives from our inalienable right to life.”

Very good..

I would go one step further. The Founding Fathers said the 2nd Amendment is a recognition of the God given pre-existing right to self-defense. No man can prohibit or attempt to discourage a God given right.

The 2nd Amendment is, therefore, non-touchable by any man.

Lemon could also do a search: “states with highest gun crime”,,, [About 19,600,000 results (0.49 seconds)]

Then he should pick one and do some “man”(?) in the streets interviews.

They probably have an armed guard in the lobby of CNN.
