He definitely has some anger management issues, don’t he?
I am 100% behing the 2nd Amendment. But this article fails to quote everything Bill O’Reilly said. It specifically says in the Constitution, in the a state of emergency, the government can temporarily suspend the 2nd Amendment in order to get things under control. Then it is up to the court to decide if the temporary suspension is credible or not. And like I said, I am pro-2nd Amendment. But the law is the law, and you can’t claim to support one part of the Constituttion and not the other part.
Seems to me that when a government violates the constitution and confiscates guns we have a real state of emergency. It was just that circumstance for which the framers included the second amendment - to protect the people from the tyrants and would be tyrants.
BOR would be, mistakenly so, a fat and juicy target for the left if violence breaks out.
In this case, BOR would be praying that he has neighbors who believe in the Second Amendment and STILL have guns and ammo and will take him in!!
Kissing libs butts is a national sport in the talking heads’ echelon!
I'm sorry. I'm not a constitutional lawyer like Barack Hussein so I'm going to have to ask you to put a link to the part of the Constitution you're referring to here.
Thats a pretty extreme position.
Oh I see... I must disarm myself when NO help can come to my aid. Right.
O’really is a blowhard. Rush nailed him good.
Make that include elected people and you’ve got a deal-!!
Saying a president in the time of war is equal to a policeman during a hurricane is pretty stupid. Having a firearm is more important during a catastrophy than at anytime. O’reily is just wrong!
He must be vacillating because I know I heard him say that the looting in NO during Katrina made him completely change his mind about the right to bear arms. How soon he forgets.
Any person or persons who has in their employ or employed on their behalf for the purpose of providing Protection or Security with a Firearm of any kind ,Shall be Guilty of a Class A Felony, punishable by a Mandatory Sentence of 25 years in State Prison and COMPLETE CIVIL ASSET FORFEITURE.
There Shall be NO EXCEPTIONS, EXCLUSIONS or IMMUNITIES FOR ANY PERSON, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, EVER.
There fixed it.
That's kind of extreme. How about:
No person providing protective services shall have any more right to own or carry a firearm than any other private citizen. Police officers, off-duty, shall have no more rights to carry firearms than any other private citizen.
Hey, why not go after the looters and disarm them, and not waste time disarming people protecting their homes and businesses? Is it possible that because for at least for a few in law enforcement, it is more about being a big shot and a bully and not about protecting and serving?
Like VeniVidiVici, I am fairly up on the contents of the Constitution and I am calling a solid BS alert... I can't wait to see the link I am sure you will provide, even the liberal dems have never made a statement like that.
P.S. if you need a link to a copy of the Constitution, just let me know, I'll be glad to help out... ;-)
I didn’t even have to read the article - I’m sure that Bill O’statist wants to disarm people during a state of emergency. Well, guess what - I will be very well armed and I will defend myself, my neighbors, and my property against all comers.
"A well-regulated militia, being Necessary to the security of a FREE STATE, the right OF THE PEOPLE to Keep and Bear Arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED."
I don't see it there.
What if the government decided to take away our 1st amendment rights during an ‘Emergency’?
Does BORe realize that those confiscations were deemed unconstitutional later on?
So it it BORe’s contention that Adhering to the Constitution is a pretty extreme position. ?
Who makes the decision on what constitutes an emergency, could Economic Chaos be considered an emergency?
