Condoleezza Rice says US needs to consider Second Amendment's place in 'modern world'
Fox News ^ | February 25, 2018 | Amy Lieu

“I think it is time to have a conversation about what the right to bear arms means in the modern world,” Rice told radio host Hugh Hewitt on Friday...More specifically, Rice said weapons like the AR-15...shouldn't be available to civilians, the Washington Times reported...Rather, she supports looking to law enforcement and guards as ways for protection.

Yes,there are people who shouldn't be allowed to have firearms...either temporarily or permanently.That would include people convicted of certain crimes as well as people suffering from certain psychiatric and physical disorders.Maybe there should be an age limit...16,or 18,or maybe even 21.And maybe non-citizens should be forbidden to have firearms as well.

But for the large majority of citizen adults it's essential that the 2nd Amendment be preserved and defended.

...so I’m not liking all the mental illness talk either.

Yes,the USSR used "psychiatric hospitals" as punishment...as prisons...as a way to control the citizenry.But I worked in a big city ER for many years and I can absolutely guarantee you that there are people with certain psych disorders that you would want to see barred from gun ownership...at least temporarily.And some of them (chronic schizophrenics,for example) you would want to see barred forever.

“Condi Rice defines useful idiot.
The shame is she is a useful idiot pitching for the wrong side”

She lives and works inside the Stanford cocoon and has lost touch with reality. She’s gone over to the dark side. Forget about her.

Yes it should be MORE expansive and require that certain places like schools hospitals and nursing homes be armed guarded. Sad to say but I believe the next easy target for a muslim animal might very well be a soft unguarded nursing home.

I have respect for her intelligence, but — like so many intellectuals — she has no common sense.

This country is headed towards a social and political explosion of epic proportions. Lines are being drawn. The polarization in this country is beyond repair, and reconciliation is not possible.

Things are about to get dicey, I’m afraid.

I want to puke every time some bobblehead says “civilians” and excludes police and/or security guards.
All she said, in reality, is that the government should have arms and the people should not.

She’s just an elitist, snooty, snotty, just like Peggy noonan...moments of brilliance, but at the core, a globalist...her true nature is laid bare...she does not exist to me...part of the Rothschild cabal.

what is actually required are civilian militias on a broader less radical ideological scale

National guards are militias that have been co opted into federal organizations

Every city should have one regiment per congressional district.

Sec. Rex Tillerson considers Rice to be a mentor.

He recently paid tribute to her during a visit to Stanford.

Fine, let's have that "conversation"

The Bill of Rights is intended to protect the citizens from government tyranny.

As the gov. continues to expand its power it attempts to abrogate those rights.

Witness attacks on the first amendment's guarantees of speech and religion, attacks on the 2nd RTKBA, and 4th unlawful search, the confiscation of property w/o trial, the abuse of the legal system where the process is the punishment.

The greatest threat to our liberties is an unaccountable gov. that has been entirely corrupted by power.

Does anyone really expect the crimes committed by the FBI will EVER be brought to court, that any of the powerful people that attempted to hijack the 2016 election will ever be prosecuted. IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN.

Yes, Condi, let's have THIS conversation!

“Ahhhh, George W. Bush: the “gift” that keeps on giving. /s”

Another of his ‘gifts’ was giving Dana Pee-RINO a forum to spew her mindless blather.

If anyone wonders why Yeb Bush was less popular than ISIS in the 2016 GOP primaries, you need look no further than this useless globalist to understand why.

And while we are considering that 2nd Amendment thing, can we also consider the abortion amendment? You know, the one that has allowed millions of babies to be murdered?

Can we consider the 1st Amendment so that we can outlaw violent video games, movies and porn?

Can we consider the 6th Amendment, the one that makes us pay for lawyers for criminals? And how about the 4th, the one that gets confessions thrown out as evidence?

And so on.

If they repeal the 2nd amendment the 1st will follow behind it.
