Condi Rice: it’s time to discuss what 2nd Amendment ‘means in the modern world’
The Washington Times ^ | 2-23-2018 | Jessica Chasmar

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Friday that it’s time to discuss what the Second Amendment “means in the modern world” in light of last week’s mass school shooting in Parkland, Florida.

Ms. Rice, who served under President George W. Bush, said that while the Second Amendment remains “indivisible,” she doesn’t think civilians should have access to guns like the AR-15, which was used by 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz to fatally shoot 17 students and teachers on Valentine’s Day.

“I think it is time to have a conversation about what the right to bear arms means in the modern world,” she told radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt. “I don’t understand why civilians need to have access to military weapons. We wouldn’t say you can go out and buy a tank.”

she can try to amend the constitution any way she wants

who knows, maybe she can do it?
after all, our constitution provides for such things
and its happened over two dozen times already

until then, all ‘gun control laws and regulations’ are patently violations and should be repealed

That being the world that in the last century saw governments slaughter more of their own citizens than in any other century in recorded history? That modern world?

If FR ever had a Post of the Week award, this would be the winner.

Hey Condi it still says “shall not be infringed”.

“I don’t understand why civilians need to have access to military weapons...

A well-regulated Militia being necessary for the security of a FREE state, the Right of People to Keep and Bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

It's about freedom, not allowing a government created by the Constitution to exceed its authority.

I’ve seen it added as keyword on threads and it wasn’t me, so it’s catching on.

Those were the days, Condi, when anyone cared what you thought.
Buy some new boots or something.

But said amendment would presumably be an infringement, and , thus, null and void.

“We wouldn’t say you can go out and buy a tank.”

Idiotic statement to make.

I’m not your keyword bandit. In close to 20 years around here, the only time I’ve used a keyword is when I made a post, or added “trumptrain” because the poster made a typo. I am approximately oblivious to the keyword function here.

Yeah. I can’t really see the Founders looking upon the 20th century as a reason not to have an individual right to keep and bear arms.

It depends on what the meaning of infringed is is is. Got mixed up in Clinton speak there.

Same here, I don’t really understand how to use them, but noticed it on another thread.
Somebody else thinks it’s funny besides you and me and the folks at home.

Can’t trust ALL the people! Some can’t handle a weapon like assault rifle (which include ANY gun that holds more than a single round) and it must be FAIR. So lowest common denominator has to be ..... I know a SLINGSHOT! [Ohhhh..maybe not. You know that David and Goliath thing.]

The number of mind-blowing failures that occurred at every level of law enforcement, mental healthcare, and school administration at every point on the timeline of this tragic affair completely disqualifies discussion of the second ammendment for anyone with even the slightest objectivity.
