Dem: 'The Second Amendment needs some changing'

Rep. Mike Doyle, D-Pa., called for a revision of the Second Amendment during Wednesday's "sit-in" on the House floor, which has shut down the House while Democrats demand a vote on gun control legislation.

"The Second Amendment needs some changing, because Americans don't agree with it and we've had it," Doyle shouted on the House floor. "We're not going to watch any more people in this country get slaughtered and do nothing."

House Democrats are occupying the well of the floor in order to demand a vote on gun control legislation, such as a ban on weapons sales to people on the terror watch list.

They've vowed not to leave until House Republicans grant a vote on that bill, making the "sit-in" a rough approximation of a Senate filibuster. They were joined briefly on the House floor by Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Murphy, who staged a talking filibuster for the same purpose last week.

This sit-in doesn’t sound legal. The Republicans should have the Sergeant at Arms drag these jackasses out and dump them on the curb.

The Founding Fathers set a procedure to do just that.

Let’s see how far you get with that.

No, I have had it with the likes of you.

I have has it with our back stabbing government coddling terrorists and attacking innocent Americans.

Go f*ck yourself, Mr. Doyle.

And the Republican leadership will do nothing, has no idea what to do, is helpless.

The Democrats could march troops in and arrest every Republican in the House and Senate and haul them off to a concentration camp, and not one of them would lift a finger to fight back.

“Does the camp have a buffet line and a golf course?”

They just don’t watch the ongoing slaughter in Chicago.

Change it? Hell,you can *repeal* it! The 18h Amendment was repealed....why not the 2nd? The process is simple and straightforward.

>>such as a ban on weapons sales to people on the terror watch list.

DEPORT people on the terrorist watch list. If they are Americans, haul them in and question them, then charge them or get them off the list.

Just having a “list” isn’t good enough.

Exactly.

Theoretically the 2nd amendment can be repealed. But it takes an overwhelming consensus to change the constitution. It takes a 2/3 vote in each house of Congress, then approval by 3/4 of the states. It’s a high hurdle, but the Founding Fathers wanted to make it difficult to just change the constitution on a whim.

Hey congressman.
Don’t like the Amendment?
There’s a way to repeal or amend it.
I dare you.

What our Constitution needs is a legal mechanism for the people to immediately remove any DC politicians who try to govern against it, thus governing against our liberty. And no, I’m not talking about the people’s vote because that leaves in place the scoundrels to do more damage until they are voted out and besides, the election system is rigged.

Yeah, I agree, the 2nd Amendment needs to be changed.

They need to take that confusing (to leftists) part about the militia out and just leave it: "The Right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed." Period. Full stop. nothing more necessary.
