CNNs Chris Cuomo used a tweet Thursday to suggest the Second Amendment only protected a collective right until Supreme Justice Antonin Scalia read an individual right into it.
Cuomo tweeted:
Do you remember what the 2a was created for? That there was no individual right contemplated until Scalia read it in? If you are an originalist about the constitution you have no basis for thinking you and not the state controls access. https://t.co/j5IAC3NTMZ

Notice the last sentence of Cuomos tweet, If you are an originalist about the constitution you have no basis for thinking you and not the state control access. He is saying because the Second Amendment only protects a collective right, in his opinion, then the true originalist position is to believe you only have guns if the state says so.

First headline of the day that made me
LOL, LOL, LOL....A LOT
What a dipshit. How does that guy even have enough neurons to move his diaphragm? “Brain”stem, I guess.
Heck, the Heller decision lays the historical meaning out fairly accurately. The "collective right" theory is new by corrupt judges.
At any rate, Cuomo is a known liar, and few people take him at his word. He works for a lying propaganda outfit to boot.
His interpretation is laughable. A “collective right” to bear arms needs no Constitutional protection. Is the government in any danger of having its weapons taken away, by the government?
Come and take it
He had trouble with “See Spot run”.
An Italian commenting on another Italian who was 100x superior to him in every way.
Thank goodness for the Scalias and Alitos to offset the likes of cuomo and pelosi
Lets accept his silly argument as valid. I thought lefties were all wrapped up about honoring precedent. Well, if the Supreme Court declared it, that’s precedent too isn’t it? Or does that only apply to Roe V Wade?
They’re not stupid. They’re lying, they know that they’re lying, and they think they can get away with it.
For years, Rush Limbaugh has referred to him as "Fredo."
The epitome of 'stupid'......................
Nowhere in the contract called the constitution is a militia recognized as a party to the contract. We only see states and individuals and their representatives.
BS as anybody who has read any of a number of statements by practically all of the Founding Fathers knows.
As usual, Cuomo is just lying.
Basically why would The Founders want to make sure something is "Well Regulated" (to the stupid Progs that means, regulated as in what you can/cannot possess) but then at the very end state that the Government cannot infringe (i.e. limit) the Arms of the people.
I don’t know what that means..................
talk about reading in stuff
Hardly he thinks he can get a critical mass of American people to believe his lies such belief may gain him and his masters power, for which they lust above all else. Dishonest propaganda is a proven avenue to power for evil people.
It’s as “stupid” as the devil himself.
(In the long run, I suppose it is stupid. Eternity in Hell is a high price to pay for worldly power )
