2nd Amendment:
"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."
And the Supreme Court has rulled it is an "individual right". And remember that the "Rights" of the Constitution were granted by God, not Government. Hence Government cannot take them away.
And no Executive Order overrules the Constitution. And Not act of Congress supercedes the Constitution except another "Amendment".
And you doofasses can forget congress repealing the 2nd Amendment. Ever.....
America calls on Sen. Schumer to kiss it’s collective ass.
Hows come we never hear about mass murders on Israeli beaches?
Suspend the sale of all GM products until they can figure out why they’re killing machines on wheels.
Hey, Chuckey, we are going to suspend your pay and all benefits, pending your next re-election.
An armed staff member could have use just about any gun and put multiple bullets into Lanza in two seconds, too, since the cops seemed to be a bit late on the scene.

Some retailer has some "assault-style rifles" in stock to sell? Where? I thought they were back ordered for months, if not years.
It won’t make any difference immediately, there are none in the pipeline to be so. If walmart cooperates with Obama at all I am through being there customer. Time for a Boycott of Walmart and any other company if they cooperate.
” U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer today called on the nation’s largest gun retailers to participate in a temporary moratorium on selling assault-style rifles until Congress has considered legislation to reduce gun violence.”
Which should take only, oh, about a hundred years or so.
Chuck you, Schumer
It behooves you then, Senator, to also write every major abortion provider in the United States and ask that they temporarily suspend use of vacuum aspirators in their clinics. It's in the interest of protecting innocent children.
Walmart, Retailers Call on Schumer to Stop Molesting Collies
Plain and simple, this is leveraging the lives of these innocent dead children for political puposes. It is sick. It is disgusting. It is a raw appeal to emotion and it is beneath dignity.
I believe that Walmart has SUSPENDED SALES OF WEAPONS & AMMO, as in totally sold out! Nothing left on the shelves but a few boxes of bird shot and .22 Shorts.
There may have been one box of .45-70 left.
Cry me a river, Senator. You're disturbed law abiding American who disagree with this push for a BAN are buying up weapons that would be effected by such ban?
Schumer is trying to shame and bully law abiding Americans by standing on the backs of dead children to move his government power-grabbing agenda.
I've observed over countless years, there is no bigger demagogic ass in the US Senate than Chuck Schumer.
I am not an NRA member; I've never owned or fired a weapon but I see clearly what the agenda is here. I'm even more incensed by the crass, callous, manipulative tactics being deployed.
Congress should suspend passing legislation until it demonstrates a basic understanding of the US Constitution.
Yeah, that means you Chucko Schmucko. Why are you even debating "gun control" legislation? You completely lack the legitimate authority to impose any such legislation. To introduce a gun-control bill, or to vote for it, is to violate your oath of office.
This is not the first time Walmart has suspended sales of a firearm. They used to sell pistols till pressure from THE BRADY BUNCH (HCI) got them to stop.
Then after the Clinton AW ban they quit selling the bowdlerized versions of the firearms. They started selling them again not long ago, now they have quit again.
Dear Mr. Schumer:
While you claim to be engaging in a “conversation” regarding ways to prevent more senseless violence, and use the Newton school massacre as a backdrop for these “discussions”, the reality is that only one side of the conversation is allowed any voice, specifically the side calling for more restrictive anti-gun legislation. When only one side is allowed a voice, the result is a lecture and not a conversation. Are you willing to engage in a true conversation on the issue? Are you willing to listen to and seriously consider options that involve equipping and training our educators and other responsible adults in schools to protect innocent children from psychotic murderers when every second counts but the police are still minutes away?
You speak of balancing individuals’ rights against the need to protect the most innocent, but at the same time you seek to strip individuals of their right to protect themselves and those around them. Your letter bemoans the fact that citizens, alerted to the current assault on their rights, are purchasing more semi-automatic rifles (that you erroneously categorize as “assault weapons”) and criticizes the swelling grassroots support for a massive exercise of First Amendment rights (freedom of speech and right to peaceably assemble) in support of our Second Amendment rights. Your letter specifically states that this activity by citizens is “counterproductive to the open dialogue we have begun”. The problem is: there is no dialogue, only lecture. It is clear that the anti-gun forces are determined to use this incident as a catalyst for restricting gun rights and not as a call for solutions. The “let no crisis go to waste” approach articulated by the President’s former Chief of Staff is clearly on display.
You have asked retailers to withdraw from the market “during this time of grief, reflection, and sadness” but you and your colleagues are attempting to use the emotions of this time of grief to silence your opposition and push legislation through the system that you would not be able to push when there really is a dialogue on the issue. Such attempts to use the deaths of these innocent children and their brave but equally defenseless teachers as cover – like lifeless human shields – for your agenda of banning and confiscating legal guns from law-abiding citizens is offensive and outrageous. I hope that you will set aside your agenda and join in a TRUE conversation – one that would require you to stop talking long enough to actually listen to some ideas that haven’t been previously tried and demonstrated as complete failures. Until then, we will continue to serve our customers and provide them the best equipment and service that we can in our commitment to the security and freedom of our citizens under the Constitution of the United States of America.
Thank you,
A CITIZEN, not a subject
PS: To quote another great citizen, Ted Nugent, KISS MY ASS!
