Harry Reid: We don’t have the Right to Arm ourselves Against the Government
Daily Caller ^ | 4/17/2013 | Alexis Levinson

Posted on 04/17/2013 10:10:09 AM PDT by politisite

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said that he will support the Assault Weapon Ban against what he calls conspiracy theorists, black helicopters and false flags:

“I’ll vote for the ban because saving the lives of police officers, young and old, and innocent civilians, young and old, is more important than preventing imagined tyranny,”

“I’ll vote for the ban because saving the lives of police officers, young and old, and innocent civilians, young and old, is more important than preventing imagined tyranny,”

What will it take to get this senile traitor to retire to drool on himself?

Every historical tyranny has been imagined beforehand, if even for a brief instant.

NO EXCEPTIONS.

"Imagined Tyranny?"

Really?

Or even real tyranny, right, Hairy Screed?

I would go with something more emotional, like portraying Reid’s contraction with American history & printable.

I could probably go on.

I am so tempted to begin a daily (continuing?) thread prominently displayed as DUMBASS OF THE DAY --- complete with his own words of confirmation.
It's a target-rich environment.

The founders wrote the first amendment to protect political speech, and the second amendment to protect the first.

But Lefties want us to believe the only thing the first amendment protects is pornography, and the second amendment only applies to the government.

Harry sure doesn’t know his history, does he?

“I’ll vote for the ban because saving the lives of police officers, young and old, and innocent civilians, young and old, is more important than preventing imagined tyranny,”

So Harry - go play with your imaginary gun!!!!

We’ll keep our real guns and our real bullets as the Founders of our Constitution ordained.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security...

My favorite part. There is no ambiguity, no parsing of the simple language.
Anyone challenging the Second Amendment (as clearly written) must be charged with treason, and subject to serious mandatory jail time.

But that's just it; by making it this way I can capitalize on people's tendency to read in what they want -- it'd be sellable to congress-types because they would see it as supporting their power-plays, while the second-amendment loving could use it as a political statement meaning that (a) they read the 2nd, and (b) that they are tired of the politician-caste thinking they're above Justice.

You know things have changed for the worse when Hubert Humphrey in retrospect sounds conservative. I couldn’t stand him back in the day.

Honestly I think its more funny to take a recognizable picture of Americans at Lexington and Concord(or anther Pre-independence battle) defending themselves form a British attack. Then superimpose Harry Reid’s statement on top of it.

“We don’t have the Right to Arm ourselves Against the Government.”

Let everyone know what an oviouse fool Harry Reid is.

Yeah and the reason we hate fats is because of the noise and not the smell.

We are closer to CW II than we think.

When our government leaders not only forget that they are empowered only to serve us, but actually deny that fact, then I must agree. Our servants have now become our masters, and that must not stand.

Isn’t there a Benjamin Franklin quote that covers what Reid said there?

And still, nobody does anything. This was the entire purpose for the Second Amendment being included in the Bill of Rights. The time to act passed over 100 years ago. We deserve what comes our way now.

Harry, did you even read that dusty old document that you swore an oath to protect and defend
from all enemies, foreign and domestic?

You are exactly WRONG, you old alzheimers patient. The purpose of the Second Amendment
is for We The People to protect ourselves and our property FROM YOU and the likes of you!

We know history, and you can't expunge it from our brains:

1. Registration
2. Confiscation
3. Extermination

NEVER AGAIN!
