The Second Amendment Should Not Be Open to Discussion...

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


The entire world is running on illegal arms deals…

 

On Wednesday, President Barack Obama met with former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg to talk about gun violence. Specifically, the pair talked about what can be done to end the threat that America’s loose standards for access to them poses to public safety.

“The two discussed ways to keep guns out of the hands of those who should not have access to them, and what more could be done at the state and local level to help address gun violence in America,” the White House said of their meeting.

THE FIGURES:

THE REALITY:

 

The president’s meeting, held with perhaps the most influential gun control advocate in the nation, was a good opportunity to discuss lobbying strategy in light of the rash of mass shootings in 2015 that have sparked a renewed push for ambitious gun control legislation among reformers.

It also serves as a reminder of the unique political path toward any realistic change on gun policy, when Congress has proven almost pathologically incapable of passing even modest gun reform after years of debate on the matter.

Bloomberg’s clout: In 2014, Bloomberg pledged to spend $50 million on efforts to sway battles over gun policy on the state level, backing organizations committed to policies like expanding background checks. So far, the effort hasn’t beenhugely successful in achieving results, but he is of course fighting an uphill battle. The National Rifle Association boasts millions of members, spends tens of millions of dollars every election cycle and deftly channels the preferences of huge swaths of the population who are fiercely protective of America’s gun culture and rights.

      the first ten amendments are not open for discussion or vote by your so called leader do your research, there is a supreme court decision dating back a long time.

        Hitlery Clinton is coming for your guns.

      Armed population is freedom.
      Unarmed population is slavery.
      ADM. Yamamoto, Architect of The Pearl Harbor said that behind every blade of grass was an American with a gun. He having spent years in study in this country.
      Problem now is that a part of our population are acting out the OK corral in their neighborhoods. Give gun owners a bad name by the media and lefties.

      Guns not really the problem.

      It is a matter of the heart. :sad:

      • FraMar

        Ah, you know some WW2 history. That was the reason Adm Yamamoto told his government that it would not be possible to INVADE the US.

        To all you who comment here: Read the MAIN STREAM news too, and make comments THERE, as well. You will reach more people, and that’s what we need to do.

    • Man

      so how come criminals aren’t rampant in scandinavia or western europe?

      • FraMar

        “how come” – because of strong police forces. Criminals were not rampant in Nazi Germany, either. Do you still not get it??

      • Anonymous

        Some women in Scandinavia may have a slight issue with that statement. Coming to a city near you.

        Cause lame stream media is not reporting it . The only reason why this is news down there is because thay wanna scare people in turning in there guns . Not hard to figure out mate . Nobody is buying it .
        I am not myself and I live in a gun free country . Thay dont get is that every time there is a shooting it makes USA people buy guns not give them up . REAL USA people are not afraid infect thay are the oposit there pizzed .

        • Man

          so no country specific news in Europe is reporting any shootings and they are apparently more rampant in the US. No internet or facebook post about it…. right….

          and norway has 33.1 guns per 100 and the US 112.6… so you would expect more shooting in norway if that is the case

          and having an effective police force is bad if crime needs to be dealt with?

          • Man

            not to mention that the gun control in Norway and other countries are more stricter

      “The Second Amendment Should Not Be Open to Discussion”

      Then why didn’t you close the “Comments” section?

    • Ideas Time

      The second along with the rest of our rights are not open for modification by any corporation masquerading as a gov including the traitors in DC.

      These rights are unalienable rights and can not be given up or taken away. Period!

    • underdog

      Note: the stats are all in gun free zones . Not in pro gun zones .

    • underdog

      non of them should up for discussion plain and simple .

      The concept of militia is clearly different than people.

      By his words, Lincoln decreed this land a government of the people, by the people and for the people. He thus knew the difference between people and militia.

      So the second amendment reference to people necessarily refers to individuals not necessarily part of a militia.

      There are two separate groups, the militia and individuals, neither of whose rights shall be infringed.

      And keep in mind what the Philistines did to the Israelites in the days of Saul and Jonathan — only those two had their swords, all other arms were confiscated. ( I Samuel.)

      Thus, those implementing such confiscatory measures make the people their subjects and not citizens. The dispossesed become conquered peoples. But this would treasonously trample the principle that this is a government of the people.

      So all arguments for gun control are invalid based on a reading of the Constitution regardless of how many judges may have been duped or that have duped others.

      If the proponents of gun control had the ability, they would have amended the Constitution to clearly define the right to bear arms as exclusively to militia. But they did not do that, so in scam-like manner, they hope to reinterpret the Constitution.

      And they can NEVER take away the weapon of prayer as long as those following Jesus are on earth. Their efforts are thus futile.

      jdp…Guns,guns,guns..who needs them? police,military,sheriff, law abiding civilians. every former solider requires a gun for either hunting or domestic defense home protection, as we can’t wait on the police to arrive when an intruder with gun shows up ready to use it on the unsuspecting. Regulations about safety are good,but the criminal don’t follow them.When the constitution gives us the right, It would be criminal offense to oppose or stop that right to own/carry. The UN has no right to come in and take what is not theirs! Therefore, some will resist to the hilt.

    • desertspeaks

      when a muslim blows something up and or kills people, we’re all told not to indict all muslims for the actions of “a lot more than” a few!
      Why do gun owners not receive the same kindness?

      One of the statistics in the article above states, that in the US 10,728 killed by handguns. Does anyone know what that statistic leaves out??? 100 million gun owning Americans KILLED NO ONE!

      • Man

        so american muslims are banned from guns but true americans aren’t? lol
