Joe Manchin: Second Amendment Needs More Regulation
breitbart.com ^ | 8/11/2016 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 08/14/2016 10:36:04 AM PDT by rktman

According to the Cumberland Times-News, Manchin told town hall attendees that “gun control should be governed by common sense.” He then criticized constitutional carry, suggesting that more criminals will carry, now that the law does not require a permit. Manchin said, “Before, we always knew who we were chasing — the bad guy — but we knew most of the people didn’t have a gun concealed, and if they did, they were responsible. We don’t know that anymore. So I’m for responsible gun control.”

Since the majority of non-Muslim mass shooters are Democrats, let’s propose that ALL Democrats lose their “right to bear arms”.

Science tells us that this is the best way to “protect the children”.

Exactly. You don’t want to be a science-denier, do you?

“Clean coal” and “Common Sense” infringement of the right to bear arms.

Tell me Manchin isn’t leading his constituents off a Cliff.

If Clintoon becomes our Potus, she will disarm us and make us like the poor guy below, running for his life! His crime, being a Trump supporter in San Jose earlier this year. He was run down by a Somali Islamic. The worthless Liberal San Jose Mayor and LaRaza police chief made sure their cops didn’t stop the violence against Trump supporters. San Jose has very strict gun control laws.

Just like in Switzerland where every household is required to have a firearm.

Actually in the 2nd amendment; the word regulated translates to armed. That is the proper interpretation. The democrats always glom on to the word regulated to regulate. The founders wanted a well armed militia.

.............mass shootings generate 90% of media blather and a need for the left to “change the subject of the day or week” generates the other 10%.

The absolute facts are that ALL mass shootings have been inflicted on the victims and the American People by democrats!

When is a Republican going to introduce a bill in congress to take away the right of any democrat street person or politician to own a gun or have guards that own guns?

That bill, if passed, will about CURE mass shootings!

(please no one write and tell me “it’ll never happen”..........I know! But, liberal media heads would explode and it would focus much attention where it needs to be focused.

Regulated means equipped and trained. Someone with a rocket launcher might be equipped but might not be trained. But a full auto gun that is used by someone trained in its use qualifies as well-regulated.

West Virginians have Joe in their sights unfortunately we can't pull the lever until he runs for re-election. Here's hoping the Republicans don't run a total idiot against him.

ANY DC SOB or politician anywhere else in this country that betrays their oath by speaking or acting against the Constitution needs to be removed from public office immediately since they themselves do not pass Constitutional muster.

Carrying a weapon should have no more restrictive a requirement and then voting.

Joe, what needs to be well-regulated (not suppressed to zero) is the militia, just like the 2nd Amendment says.

Right now, we have gangs, BLM, New Black Panthers, Muslim neighborhood patrols. But, for most of America, there is little in the way of neighborhood or regional defense. The militia provided that in Colonial times; the government ruthlessly suppresses it today. A well-to-do person can hide behind a gated community, and a really rich one can afford personal bodyguards, but that’s not the same as a safe, self-defending community.

” Manchin told town hall attendees that “gun control should be governed by common sense.”

That was precisely the language used on the hidden video by a democrat operative explaining how the democrats will get rid of the 2nd amendment.

“He then criticized constitutional carry, suggesting that more criminals will carry, now that the law does not require a permit.”

Yep, because criminals are well known for struggling with the idea of violating the law before they violate it.

Criminals, by definition, do not regard the law. They have been carrying all along.

IOWs only criminals are supposed to carry guns. This douchebag fits right in with the criminal cadre in DC. Thug Lives Matter!
