Joy Behar: It’s Time To ‘Tweak’ 1st And 2nd Amendments Because Founding Fathers Didn’t Have AR-15s And Twitter
Daily Wire ^ | 30 Nov 2021 | Virginia Kruta

Posted on 11/30/2021 7:55:23 PM PST by Rummyfan

“The View” co-host Joy Behar said Tuesday that the 1st and 2nd Amendments to the U.S. Constitution needed to be “tweaked a little bit” because the Founding Fathers did not have things like AR-15s and Twitter.

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg began the discussion with the news that Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey had stepped down a day earlier and noted that he had been proactive in policing hate speech — namely because Twitter was first to eject former President Donald Trump from its platform.

“Australia wants to go a step further, drafting a legal process for those feeling they have been defamed, bullied, or harassed, forcing them to hand over the identities of the accused bully to the courts. If we had a legal process like this, would it actually make people think twice about trolling or would people just find a new – a new way to troll?” Goldberg asked, but co-host Sunny Hostin appeared to see the merit of the idea.

“It would be so juicy and good. I mean, think about it,” she said. “Don’t you get those nasty tweets from people with that keyboard courage in their mama’s basement or somewhere else, and they’re hidden behind, like, a cat photo or a private account or a frog photo or a flag photo — in my case, I get a lot of flag photos and they say the nastiest things that they would never say to you face to face. I would love their identifying information.”

Even if Joy Behoe personally eliminated the 2nd Amendment from every copy of the Constitution, crossing it out with a pen dipped in her own blood, we would STILL have the right to keep and bear arms. That Amendment limits the GOVERNMENT not the people. Also, that right PREDATES America.

Nothing to see (or hear) in “The View”.

“Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American . . . . The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people.”
--Tench Coxe, of Pennsylvania, Feb. 20, 1788--

“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power.”
--Noah Webster, of Pennsylvania--

“[I]f circumstances should at any time oblige the government to form an army of any magnitude, that army can never be formidable to the liberties of the people while there is a large body of citizens, little if at all inferior to them in discipline and the use of arms, who stand ready to defend their rights and those of their fellow citizens.”
--Alexander Hamilton, of New York--

You can find these quotes all day.

Joyless, if we do tweak the First and Second Amendment, you will need to have it approved by 3/5 of the states, and most states will not pass it, you moronic fool!!

“the Founding Fathers did not have things like AR-15s”

Oh contraire, actually they did. They had the most common, modern weapon of the times, the musket.

"the Founding Fathers did not have things like AR-15s and Twitter.

Then as now, they would acquire and use the best technology that they could afford. Seems like that would be common sense.

If Rittenhouse sues Goldberg, her statements may become evidence.
