They might be unpleasantly surprised at how many are just itching to give it to them. Keep poking that hornet’s nest, leftists.

I can just see it: anyone posting to Free Republic or any conservative site is automatically “a suspected terrorist.”

"But they’d scream if anyone so much as touched the First Amendment."

Where have you been? They're also attacking the First Amendment.

Trump should respond by saying we should suspend the 1st Amendment and shut down leftist blogs/websites confirmed to have treasonous intent (which is most of them). Or maybe that we should suspend the one on equal-rights voting in Ferguson the next time they riot.

The Dem/libs have been yapping for gun control for decades.
How has that been working out for them?

And in the last two months... (Nov. 2012 and Dec. 2012)

And it continues...

And there is more...

And more...

And yet more...

And more and more and...

We just keep buyin' more...

And we bought more more more...

And more and more and more...

KEEP YAPPIN, LIBERALS, WE'LL BUY MILLIONS MORE. ;-)

Do they mean that all this time we could have just simply suspended the penumbras that eminated Roe v Wade, gay marriage, and cross-bathrooms?

Who knew?!?

Let’s secretly kill commie professors and NYT’s writers. We’ll seat wooden dummies in their chairs so nobody will know that they’re secretly dead.

Why are the people most likely to equate gun ownership with penis envy, the same ones who are most interested in taking them away?

Maybe a secret committee to take away the first amendment rights of journalist who step over the line too... No court, no jury... just a committee.

Or, more to the point, and probably more effective, why not just ban the preaching and publication of fundamentalist Islamic ideas? If it is necessary to suspend fundamental liberties, it would be much easier to just have a secret court decide if a publication or a particular mosque was disseminating dangerous ideas likely to lead to Islamic extremism. That would end radicalization, so we wouldn't, in theory at least, need to worry about preventing gun attacks, bombings, arson, knife attacks, airplane hijacking or jihad by car.

In fact the process could be even simpler than trying to stop gun sales one at a time, and less intrusive and tailored to the problem. For Muslims not involved or interested in extremist points of view there would be no burden at all, except perhaps for some travel restrictions to avoid people attending prohibited talks overseas, or reading prohibited materials.

I am sure what I proposed is something the NYTimes and all of their liberal supporters would consider unthinkable. And that of course shows their true desires and beliefs. They just want to disarm and control the population. Unlike the rest of us who actually believe in the Bill of Rights.

Congress does not have the Authority to do that. Neither does the President nor the Supreme Court. It takes a constitutional Convention and 2/3 of the states to ratify an Amendment. That is the only way and that will not happen without a revolution along with the Cession of several of the many states.
So, until such an amendment is made, it is the law that citizens may go armed and it is guaranteed that the “GOD Given Right” shall not be infringed.
