Did the Taliban, Viet Cong or Iraqi insurgents have much besides small arms? And does this guy realize that it was TED CRUZ who beat Dennis & Co. and won DC vs. Heller?

I think the disarming of German citizens and the following tyranny support Cruz’s position quite well.

Apparently the political science major/Obama booster author of the story never read any of the writings of the Founders, such as Jefferson, on the subjctt of an armed citizenry. Or, he doesnt care what they thought.

Um, yes, it does. The Revolutionary War was the first such act of rebellion for our forefathers. It worked, and we have The United States of America as a result.

I think this guy is probably of the leftist variet if you look at the nature of the articles listed on his blog. He ppears to be another one of “those” guys who sets up a blog that appears to be conservative in nature because it uses the word America in it when Communist Party would be more appropriate. I get tired of the deception used by the left. Lying is all they got.

“Being necessary to the security of a free state” doesn’t mean “being necessary to the citizens’ ability to shoot government officials if they don’t like paying taxes.”

A classic example of taking a statement actually said and then trying to twist it into a statement that supports your thesis. I have no vested interest in Cruz at this point in time, but creating straw men like this and then trying to tear them down just earns my disrespect and clearly is not going to win me over to your side of the argument.

The constitution clearly and specifically affirms his position.

Jon Greene, another useful doofus, needs to take a reading comprehension class.

See how my comma’ed clause is used to apply only to the subject.

This guy is has a gnat’s brain to argue with the gigantic constitutional legal intellect that is Ted Cruz.

These Liberal nuts of today simply REFUSE to admit that the Founding Fathers were well aware that they, the Liberal nuts of today, would find their way into power, sooner or later!

They fear that if the people actually knew the real basis of the right to “keep and bear arms,” they might finally stop taking the butt-pounding that Washington, D.C. continues to provide every American citizen!!

0’s butthole buddies Bill Ayers and Bernie Dhorn believed in violent revolution, and judging by Meghan Kelly’s interview with the “former” domestic terrorist who “turned his life around” probably still does. Oh, but that’s different.

Jon Green graduated from Kenyon College with a B.A. in Political Science and high honors in Political Cognition. He worked as a field organizer for Congressman Tom Perriello in 2010 and a Regional Field Director for President Obama's re-election campaign in 2012.

Political Cognition? Pfft! What the Hell sort of leftist BS field of study is that? And FIELD ORGANIZER? "Well, Tom, the field looks well-watered."

My God, I love how the lefties use every contorted, ridiculous combination of words under the sun to make themselves feel important.

Sorry Tom, not only is your premise flawed, your thesis is based on a strawman argument that has been thoroughly debunked every time is it examined in-depth. Your "blog" amounts to nothing more than an attempt at educated discourse, which fails in the most basic ways.

Jon's a real deep thinker, isn't he? A couple of minor items:

1. The 2nd Amendment does not refer to a right to revolt from anyone. It does, however, refer to the ability.

2. The "security of a free state" does not mean "the safety of the sitting government". It means security of a state whose freedom is threatened by enemies foreign and domestic, including progressive "thinkers".

3. "Keep and bear arms" means precisely that. It does not admit of legalistic pettifogging such as "you can have arms but not ammunition".

4. Cruz knows more about the amendment than one Jon Green knows or likely ever will.

5. "Political cognition" fail. This isn't even good high school stuff.

The author has succeeded in creating a piece of barf-inducing tripe.... (apologies to all the tripe consumers)

There are numerous quotes by the Founding Fathers regarding their intent of the 2nd Amendment to provide against future tyranny.

Does no one but us Constitutionalists ever read the FF's numerous editorials, publications, diaries, correspondence between themselves, their debates, etc. regarding the intent of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and its Amendments? I'll look them up and post thme as I have in the past. In the meantime...

Who is the useless, brain-function-challenged imbecile who wrote this runny, odious drivel, and why should we care what he has to say?

People like this are good for one thing... cooking and eating.

Okay, that's two things, but they're really closely related... this one writes like he'd be good barbecued, perhaps with some fava beans and a nice Chianti...
