NRA: Scalia death puts gun rights in jeopardy
Washington Examiner ^ | 2/13/16 11:22 PM | Paul Bedard

Posted on 02/14/2016 10:18:08 AM PST by snarkpup

Gun rights groups like the National Rifle Association said that conservative Justice Antonin Scalia's death Saturday puts gun rights on the line. "We are one justice away from a Supreme Court that would harm our Second Amendment rights," said the NRA.

It is very telling what candidates Trump, Cruz, and Rubio had to say about issues like the 2nd amendment in their announcement speeches.

Here is what they had to say about Guns, 2nd amendment.

2nd Amendment, Guns, Right to bear arms

Cruz Mar. 23, 2015

Instead of a government that works to undermine our Second Amendment rights, that seeks to ban our ammunition..... imagine a federal government that protects the right to keep and bear arms of all law-abiding Americans.

Trump June 16 , 2015

Fully support and back up the Second Amendment.
(APPLAUSE)
Now, it’s very interesting. Today I heard it. Through stupidity, in a very, very hard core prison, interestingly named Clinton, two vicious murderers, two vicious people escaped, and nobody knows where they are. And a woman was on television this morning, and she said, “You know, Mr. Trump,” and she was telling other people, and I actually called her, and she said, “You know, Mr. Trump, I always was against guns. I didn’t want guns. And now since this happened” — it’s up in the prison area — “my husband and I are finally in agreement, because he wanted the guns. We now have a gun on every table. We’re ready to start shooting.”
I said, “Very interesting.”

So protect the Second Amendment.

Any one of us could drop over dead tomorrow. You don’t have to be 79. I was at a meeting of the 8th Air Force Association in Portland Oregon yesterday. There were a dozen there who were over 90 and almost all of them were smokers at one time or another. Most of them drove themselves.

If the choice is give up our guns or kill those trying to take our guns, there is no choice.

Could not have said it better. Maybe use the phrase “Second Revolution” but CWII works just as well.

As soon as this news broke yesterday I posted that Gov. Abbott needed to send in the Texas Rangers to investigate.
(figuring the federal marshals and FBI are just part of the Baraqqi regime).

Obviously it didn’t happen.

I just need the answer to one simple question, can the Supreme Court overturn an Amendment, I know Cruz has said that we are one Liberal judge away from the banning of guns, but can they really do that? This is what scares me the most, not some stupid debate last night, not anything else, but having liberals dominate the Supreme Court could be the end of the 2nd Amendment(And other Amendments we hold dear)

Let them come and try to take them.

They won't do that, of course, for the majority that are registered. They will induce you to go to them and deliver them.

They will frame it as a matter of national security and freeze your bank account, place liens on your property, notify your employer that you are uncooperative (or even an enemy of the state), etc.

As GG2 says:
...we are one justice away from CWII.
How will that look? At first the enemy will likely be the non-local "uniforms", and then it will get worse.

Unless he had an ongoing health condition that was kept secret.....not that many die peacefully in their sleep unless they take an overdose.

I think the coincidence of them winning the Bundy thing and this right on the heels of it is a huge one.

First they send a message to patriots. Then Scalia dies.

The 0bama administration has been a great boon for gun sales. Buy more SWHC shares.

What hypocrites the NRA are. Scalia's death is just fundraising fodder for them. They don't even want better gun rights, that would dry up their precious fundraising. Thanks for nothing low-class idiots. Way to disrespect a judge who protected your rights.

Dude, you suck. You REALLY REALLY suck. You best be glad I'm not a moderator. You'd be gone on your ass.

I didn’t save and purchase a home so I could give it to the government.

I didn’t save and purchase a car so I could give it to the government.

Guns are no different.

Molon labe.
