Repeal the second and they will find out first hand what it as meant to mean

[Skepolitic]

Say what you will about the wisdom or morality of banning private gun ownership, this proposal to repeal the 2nd Amendment is the most intellectually honest attempt ever made by the gungrabbers. All other attempts to grab guns have relied on dishonest sophistry regarding the 2nd Amendment.

Though intellectually honest, the intellect behind the proposal is rather dimwitted. The proposed amendment declares that “pre-existing doctrine of natural law .. is repealed”. Natural law, by definition, cannot be repealed.

He looks like a rapist/slasher.
His image would fit right in the movie Jigsaw.
As the puppet.
He somewhat resembles the psycho from the movie Manos Hands of Fate.

If he actually makes it onto a ballot, he needs a visit with torches and pitchforks...

People like him are why I haven’t lived in California for 38 years.

Repeal the Light to Sleep and Arm Bears.

HEY BUCKLEY!

You and the hose you rode in on!!

There is only one way to solve this problem and that is to take it head on: Repeal the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

Maybe we should make drugs illegal first........oh wait.....

“Sunstein is on record attacking the Second Amendment. Watch in the following clip as he says “The Supreme Court has never suggested that the Second Amendment protects the individual right to have guns.”

There’s a number of nations in the world we could send him - expenses paid - to experience his fantasies first-hand.....

But I give the gentleman credit; at least he recognizes it takes an ammendment to change our constiution. Far too many of the current ilk don’t ! Other than that his “pogrom” reads like a “take” from Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged”. >PS

I sometimes wonder what the Founding Fathers would have said if they knew what happened to the nation they gave us.

But I suppose, at least in the case of John Adams, we know:

“Posterity, you will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that ever I took half the pains to preserve it.”- John Adams

I have filed the Federal Election Commission paperwork even though their website is inconsistent on the need to do so. I have not specified a District since on or before 08/15/2011 every district except possibly #1 & #2 in California is going to change, resulting in a considerable flurry of activity among the present Congressional office holders to try and figure out which District they are going to move to, who they are going to run against, or are they going to stay in the same numbered District regardless of where it winds up - think for instance someone conservative winding up representing Congresswoman Maxine Waters’ District. For specifications on the process for redistricting see the text of Prop 20 on p. 95 in the voters’ pamphlet for the 11/02/2010 election

Wouldn’t be enough. With the pre-existing right, plus those in the various state constitutions, if those other two legs are not also repealed they remain in effect via the 9th & 10th Amendments.

Best wishes, —Mike Barkley

Admin Moderators!

PLEASE, DO NOT ZOT THIS FELLOW YET.

I am curious to hear his viewpoint.

So explain to me your reasoning for wanting to repeal the 2nd again?

First off, I want the Right to Keep and Bear Arms repealed, of which the Second Amendment is only one leg of that 3-legged right.

Stripped to its most basic, reasons for wanting repeal:

1. We are shooting too many people in this country..

2. There are too many guns, too easy access.

3. Since Heller and McDonald, all gun control in this country is unconstitutional despite the bone tossed to the gun control people by Justice Scalia in Heller.

4. New and different forms of gun control are required to cut down the inventory and access problems and those cannot be imposed without first repealing the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

Of course, this is not an “explain”; how far into that do you want me to go? Best wishes, —Mike

After post 54, that's gonna be tough, but we'll let him continue to make an utter fool of himself for a bit longer.

I’m on board!! “We” are shooting too many people in this country! And chopping, stabbing, bludgeoning, poisoning, suffocating and duct taping!

I’m for banning baseball bats, bricks, knives longer than a 2” pen knife, hatchets, machetes, poison and duct tape!

Right on. You are so compassionate, touches my heart.

And maybe everyone should wear mandatory mittens. Hard to strangle people that way. They could be fitted with buzzers that go off in police stations if anyone tries to take them off.

Oh, another great idea to prevent violence - video cams in every home! Just think of how many crimes would be prevented.

Are you running for office? I’ll vote for you!

Ping, see post 54, we got a live one over here.

Another evil creature peddling central planning who think personnel responsibility and self control are beyond the individual's grasp.

Count yourself as another useful idiot:



By the way,



Have a nice day, try to understand history a lot more and useless authoritarian theories a lot less.

By the way, why do you consider yourself a liberal democrat? Is it because you want to tax and spend "liberally"? Be honest, because you are so far away from being a classical liberal of the Enlightenment it is not even funny. May you find a flood of useful idiots like yourself, to guide your way to victory. Tyranny be your guide, but beware of men who wish to be free.
