I think over 20% of American voters shouldn’t be allowed to vote at all.

The 2nd Amendment is in the Bill of Rights. It will not be repealed or changed.

A recent poll showed 95% of Americans no longer believe media polls.

Understand: the Second Amendment does NOT grant the right to keep and bear arms. That right is ours by birth, as free men and women. The Bill of Rights does not CONFER its rights; it simply documents them.

So repealing the Second Amendment does not remove the right to keep and bear arms. It merely attempts to erase a right God gave us.

And there will be an ice age on Mercury before I acknowledge any government's right to overrule the Almighty.

If they wish to disarm themselves, fine.

If they wish to advertise that fact with red lights at their doorway, have at.

I’m sure the thieves, home invaders, and rapists are planning to do just that.

***The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, for instance, no longer talks about banning handguns.***

The Brady campaign is just the Handgun Control Inc formed by Nelson “Pete” Shields, who with an interview in THE NEW YORKER back in 1976 spilled his guts on how he planned to make handguns in the USA, in his own words, “TOTALLY ILLEGAL.”
They have not been able to move forward on handgun control so they went after “A-s-s-ault rifles in an attempt to ban something. Anything! Then they will build on that ban to try and get the handguns.

The stupid is strong with these people.

They should have been taught that the 2nd amendment does not “give” us the right to bear arms. It simply reminds the government that it is not allowed to infringe on that natural right.

I am so tired of stupid.

Therefore, eighty-per cent of Americans DO NOT want the Second Amendment repealed.

This is a real winning issue for the Democrats as time has long proven. They need to make this their number one issue, Planned Parenthood baby part sales their second main issue, Satanic transvestite school teachers their third, and male castration nationwide their fourth.

"That means that the vast majority, 4 out of five people do not."

Yes, I caught that.

If the WaPo was an actual "newspaper", the headline would be: "Overwhelming majority back the Second Amendment"

Or "Only a small fraction of the public wants to tamper with Second Amendment"

Since the WaPo is NOT a "newspaper", they print the rantings of a small percentage of the public.

Demanding to lose a civil right... demanding less freedom, what a slave mentality.

Yes. Please please take my rights from me! But protect me and provide me with security.

> One in five Americans wants the Second Amendment to be repealed, national survey finds

“They never do a survey to ask how many Americans think Communists should be shot on sight.”

Exact same thought popped into my head. Must be something in the air!

That’s a long way from most of Congress and most of the states.

Can we move on now?

Probably because one in five would love to see a communist America. Then the government WILL HAVE TO BUILD A WALL to keep people in.

Repeal would be the ultimate infringement. The Right would remain.
