Dem: 'The Second Amendment needs some changing'

Rep. Mike Doyle, D-Pa., called for a revision of the Second Amendment during Wednesday's "sit-in" on the House floor, which has shut down the House while Democrats demand a vote on gun control legislation.

"The Second Amendment needs some changing, because Americans don't agree with it and we've had it," Doyle shouted on the House floor. "We're not going to watch any more people in this country get slaughtered and do nothing."

House Democrats are occupying the well of the floor in order to demand a vote on gun control legislation, such as a ban on weapons sales to people on the terror watch list.

They've vowed not to leave until House Republicans grant a vote on that bill, making the "sit-in" a rough approximation of a Senate filibuster. They were joined briefly on the House floor by Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Murphy, who staged a talking filibuster for the same purpose last week.

Democrats watch people be murdered and are for making sure the murderer is protected and given a light sentence. They release them to kill again and they don’t all use guns.

If a bunch of ordinary citizens tried to do a hippie “sit-in”, they’d be hauled off right away. Nice that these libtard reps are exempt from the rules.

Propose a rewording and let’s see how far that gets. That’s the way the system is designed to work, but get your crybaby asses off the floor.

I’m more interested in the opinions of The Founders than some asshat in congress - and they included the Second Amendment for a damned good reason.

That's fine, or we could use the text from the New Hampshire Constitution:

[Art.] 2-a. [The Bearing of Arms.] All persons have the right to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves, their families, their property and the state.

We could also add another article from the New Hampshire Constitution:

[Art.] 10. [Right of Revolution.] Government being instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security, of the whole community, and not for the private interest or emolument of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, whenever the ends of government are perverted, and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the people may, and of right ought to reform the old, or establish a new government. The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.

Just in case the Democrats didn't understand the motivations behind the 2nd article.

The Speaker controls the cameras of CSPAN. They should be off until the children disperse.

Sure. Remove the skanky militia clause. Simply, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
