Nope. Newt just showed he has no understanding of the Constitution.

Newt has a far greater grasp of the Constitution, history, economics and political science than the rest of the candidates put together. And that apparently includes quite a few here too.

Unfortunately, he is completely unelectable.

From the article, Newt thinks that the general public shouldn't be allowed to own "military weapons"----to quote--- "I think we ought to draw a clear distinction about a whole range of weapons that are explicitly military..."

The Second Amendment makes no such distinction, and, in fact, (Miller decision) the Supreme Court has ruled that "military weapons" are specifically protected (i.e "weaposns suitable for use by a militia").

The Second Amendment ain't about hunting.

Newt just lost MY support, even for VP. He just sank to the same level as Guiliani, and for the same reason.
