From the comments on this thread it doesn’t sound like anybody read what he actually said. He’s saying the other parts of the Bill of Rights matter also, not that we dump the 2A.
FR is rapidly becoming a knee-jerk echo chamber.
So its necessary to devalue the 2d amendment to persuade the reps to value the others? If that’s his meaning he’s a much poorer communicator that I have seen him to be.
I wonder, is anybody telling Hillary not to focus on gun control?
Yep. He has talked about the 4th, 6th & 8th amendments alot lately and how they are being abused.
I am as big a 2A guy as anyone, but I certainly can’t fault him for speaking out in defense of our other rights. And if he brings disaffected voters into the big GOP tent, I have nothing wrong with that either.
Thank you!
It took 40 posts for someone to post who actually read the article??? The headline was written to make people scream (and it worked!), but he didn’t say “let’s get rid of the 2nd amendment,” he said, “everyone is FOR it, so let’s talk about other issues.”
Like the candidate or not, FR is becoming so agenda ridden that people are taking a sound-bite and skipping the rest of the sentence.
