Welcome to Megyn Kelly Today, Today, a new daily column in which we will share the most memorable things that happened on Megyn Kelly Today every morning until we are no longer able to watch Megyn Kelly Today without feeling like there will be no tomorrow.
This is a short one because todays Clip of the Day is all that really matters. Watch it below! Heres a transcript: ·A man in the audience named Bill asked Tom Brokaw, one of Megyn Kellys guests, Were constantly bombarded with the news day and night. When does this become harmful to us and our children?
·Tom Brokaw said, We are where we are because of the power of people who wanted these kinds of guns, and the NRA managed to organize them and get them as a political force in America. So the question is, if youre not happy with what has happened, your individual obligation as a citizen is to organize on the other side. And thats possible as well. The NRA has a lot of money, obviously, and if youre running against the NRA... youre portrayed as a traitor against America. You know, youre not in favor of people who have weapons... Were a long way away from that second amendment in which we said that a well regulated militia is important to our country... ·Tom Brokaw kept talking, but Megyn Kelly interrupted by saying, Got it. Gotta leave it at that, Tom. Thank you to our entire panel. Were up against a hard break, apologies Tom Brokaw. Sorry, theyre wrapping me hard because we got a hard break coming up. But listen, this debate will not end now. There are people who defend the second amendment who believe you cant legislate against evil, and those who believe we have to have an honest conversation. Gotta leave it at that. Well be right back.
“The concept of the militia is not central to the Second Amendment. The right belongs to the people.”
Quite simply, the people who wrote the 2nd wanted to show WHY the 2nd was necessary...but understood quite well that ALL of the rights specified for special protection in the Bill of Rights (including those listed in the 2nd) existed prior to (and independent of) the government. The ONLY purpose of the 2nd is to say, loud and clear, that the RKBA is so basic of a right that the government “shall not infringe” upon it.
“didnt someone post here or did I hear today on the radio, that if you add all the people killed in mass USA shootings since 1900, it would still be less that the number of people shot in Chicago over a weekend or maybe year to date.”
Someday the left will figure out that they can get all their academics together to start changing the meanings of words in the Constitution until it retroactively means what they want. They’ll start telling us the word “religion” means playing checkers and in a couple generations the first amendment will mean protecting the free exercise of playing checkers.
NBC is grasping at straws when they trot out Brokow. Going for the nostalgia crowd?
Megyn Kelly, is she STILL ON TV??
“Though I strongly agree with what you said, I might point out that people that think its about hunting look like fools. ;)”
The people who think that the 2nd Amendment is about hunting will tell you that, “you don’t need 30 rounds to hunt.”
True, but on the other hand, the 2nd Amendment was not written in case the deer turn against us.
