It appears San Fran Nan is not as stupid as she looks or Gretchen Carlson is.
"By calling attention to 'a well regulated militia,' the 'security' of the nation, and the right of each citizen 'to keep and bear arms,' our founding fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny which gave rise to the Second Amendment will ever be a major danger to our nation, the Amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic civilian-military relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of his country. For that reason I believe the Second Amendment will always be important."President John F. Kennedy
---------------------------------------------------
"Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of citizens to keep and bear arms. This is not to say that firearms should not be very carefully used and that definite safety rules of precaution should not be taught and enforced. But the right of citizens to bear arms is just one more guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard against a tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible."
Vice President and Senator Hubert H. Humphrey
She said they are not needed “to hunt or kill deer”
Because we all know the founding fathers put the 2nd amendment in the bill of rights to protect our right to hunt deer. Reporters must be some of the dumbest people on earth!!!
I still believe that AR-10s are the way to go. YMMV
Pelosi know that a large % of the people who have bought firearms to protect their families and themselves are independent voters and those who work for a living.
Their focus groups must be showing that after the Orlando and San Bernardino slaughters by Islamic terrorists, banning any gun purchases is a lost cause for their side.
So Obama will mouth his ban of guns bs, and the rat legislators will nod but not push what he wants.
They know that Obama is a dead duck president re his power/influence. They want to be still employed after he leaves next January.
I still prefer a handgun in a pinch, but I do like firing the AR-15.
Gretchen Carlson has just shown everyone she is a special kind of stupid...
Broken clock and all that...
Gretchen Carlson just became persona non grata.
Love her or hate her, there’s no doubt Nancy Pelosi has been the most effective Speaker of the House in the last 50 years.
One of the reasons is that she knows when to pick her spots.
When they speak of an “assault weapon ban”, are they just talking about automatic weapons, or all “assault weapons”, including the popular AR15 semi-automatic?
Thanks.
So while all of FNC is demanding so-called “assault” weapons ban, Pelosi knows its a losing, unwinnable proposition (and pointless even if achieved) and knows its better politics to go for something that SOUNDS more reasonable, like secretly banning firearms purchases by people secretly placed on Obama’s secret Stasi no-fly list.
Ding Bat meets Airhead
They might as well try to ban Fords.
Anyone who claims Fux is conservative is gonna get a punch from me.
In my opinion the 2nd will never be used and the government knows it.
Somewhere, floating around the internet, is a great essay about the true parsing of the 2nd Amendment and how “well regulated” means that the citizenry should be able to regulate (overwhelm) the standing army (militia) to avoid the government from staging a coup and trashing the rest of our rights.
Essentially, we have more guns and people that the Army and thus can keep the Army from turning on us.
Wish I could find it....
Internal polling must be showing that the issue is certain death to pols pushing it.
Gotta protect that gravy train.
She remembers 1994.
