With crowd views: Five Minute Clip of Newt's Speech [universal right to bear arms] at the "NRA Celebration of American Values Leadership Forum".
Once again NEwt frames the real issue—the right to keep and bear arms as a universal right to resist tyranny, not just an American right.
Liberal heads exploded across the world, not just across America.
How many standing ovations did Romney get while he was lying his rear end off during his speech? I hear gun rights flourished when he was Governor of MA. /s

During a discussion about the 2nd amendment a friend said it gives us the right to bear arms. No I said. That right is inherent .the 2nd amendment tells government what it cannot do. The right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed
Bullseye.
I’ll want to catch Newt’s speech in Texas if possible....after the NRA Speech it’ll be more than interesting to see what he says in Texas! Wonder if the gun issue will be mentioned in their public forum ...after all it is TEXAS!
Go Newt Go!!!!
While I believe every human has a right to protect himself, the freedom we have is affirmed by our Constitution and includeds the unabridged right to carry arms.
I am not, however, in favor of extending the affirmation of this right to those not American Citizens. It is up to their home countries. Further, extending this affirmation to include non Americans under the aegis of the 2nd Amendment sets a precedent and WILL eventually lead to other ‘rights’ being granted for non-citizens...
IOW HELL NO!
That shows once again when Newt is given the stage he moves people.....the GOP/Romney/Obama/Media know this all to well.....and why they must continue to attempt to black out Newt in the media. This is now truly a case where God has to open the Red Sea for Newt. Pray that He does when it matters the most and we have patience to wait until then.
YES!
Tell that to Obama and Hillary, who support a UN ban on arms, not to Newt.
What Newt said is - the right to bear arms is NOT for any government to give or take away. It is a God given right to any citizen to defend himself, his family and his property.
Any person who casts his vote on Mitt Romney, who signed a gun ban in Massachusetts, is against the Second Amendment.
What Newt said is - the right to bear arms is NOT for any government to give or take away. It is a God given right to any citizen to defend himself, his family and his property.
That would be fine if the United Nations believed in God. They will never believe any right came from our Creator. Of course I think everyone has the right to bear arms. That goes without saying.
Pure NEWT
Right to bear arms is a universal HUMAN RIGHT.
NEWT on fire !!!
I disagree with your descriptions of what is going on.
I agree only with your first few words, that every human has the right to defend themselves.
That is a FACT.
That right comes from the creator God.
That is the point Newt made.
He calls upon the NRA, other countries and the UN to recognize the God given human right to self defense.
He does not say anyone, any entity, can give these rights to others, he says others already have these rights from God, but powerful interests refuse to recognize that they do have them.
Your worry that somehow this is an effort, or can be twisted into an effort, to give American rights to non Americans, is an impossibility.
It is from God. If you recognize that it exists and stop denying people those rights, that goes from God to recognition by entities that now deny that right to those entities coming to recognize that right.
It does not, cannot, travel a path that takes it from the Constitution and on that basis gives others a right from that document.
All that document ever did was recognize this God given right.
That’s all.
It didn’t confer that right on us, much less anyone else.
Newt gets it.
I’m glad somebody does.
Sorry you don’t.
