Democrat Doug Jones: Second Amendment Has ‘Limitations,’ Wants ‘Smart’ Gun Laws

Doug Jones, the Democrat running for Alabama’s U.S. Senate seat, says he loves to hunt but the Second Amendment has “limitations.”

He believes that every right enumerated in the Bill of Rights is limited, and the Second Amendment is no exception.

According to the Alabama Political Reporter, Jones described himself as “a Second Amendment guy,” but stressed that some gun control is necessary. He said, “We’ve got limitations on all constitutional amendments in one form or another.” This position is contrary to the clear language of the amendment, which states that the right to keep and bear arms “shall not be infringed.”

He stressed that he loves to hunt but still believes in “smart” gun laws.

Pretty agressive guy here - where is his proposed restriction on the 1st Amendment and fake news????????

[Puppage]

The 2A has NOTHING to do with hunting.....idiot.

[Howie66]

I guess that this dimwit fails to understand “SHALL NOT be infringed” for some reason.

[Mr. K]

OK recite the 2nd ammendment and then tell us which words express ‘limitations’

It certainly is not “shall not be infringed”

[BenLurkin]

Next up: “Smart” speech laws.

[circlecity]

We’ve already got over 20,000 gun laws in this country. Just how many exceptions to the 2nd amendment are there? and when do all the exceptions become a clear abridgement of the right?

[blueyon]

This man is AGAINST the wall, for abortion, anti gun and a Democrat....what else do you need to know............
Alabama, please vote Roy Moore

[Rurudyne]

Even if the 2nd has limits the 10th does NOT.

No delegated power mean no power.

[blueyon]

“””Next up: “Smart” speech laws.””

Well that will silence most on the left LOL

[Trump20162020]

Yes, pretty damaging stuff.

Too bad the NRSC, NRA, etc. are MIA in this race. Alabama voters aren't being made aware enough of just how far to the Left Doug Jones is.

[sourcery]

Because the Second Amendment is prefaced by the Militia Clause, it forces the interpretation of the "arms" which individuals have the uninfringeable right to keep and bear to specifically include those which would be useful in defense of "the security of a free state." In other words, military grade weapons.

And SCOTUS ruled exactly that, in US vs. Miller.

[Dr. Sivana]

He’s an across the board lefty who really has no business running even as a Dem for statewide office in Alabama. He’s running ads here that don’t identify him as a Democrat, suggesting he would could spending, and nothing else. If Moore can get his message out, he should be okay.

"The Second Amendment has no limits on firepower"

-NY State Senator Kathleen A. Marchione."

[ZULU]

Socialist nutcase thinks he scents victory.

[C210N]

The 2A has NOTHING to do with hunting.....idiot.

Not necessarily. He just knows his base, which are idiots.

[Georgia Girl 2]

He’s pushing gun control in Alabama. Say hello to Senator Roy Moore. LOL!

“Doug Jones, like Hillary Clinton, represents well the extreme position of the Democrat Party platform on abortion,” Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, also tells Breitbart News. “ #VoteMoore

[lurk]

Trouble is, Brother Jones and his collectivist comrades believe themselves to be the smart ones. Then they write the restrictions like drunk surgeons wearing oven mitts.

[bigbob]

This will really help him in AL /s

Wet bathroom floors kill way more people than guns do.
