Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut released this statement on Twitter today:
Let’s call it like it is: the horrifying inaction of Congress, slaughter after slaughter, has become a green light to would-be shooters, who pervert silence into endorsement.
— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) May 18, 2018
This is pretty strong stuff. And yet I’m left unclear as to what exactly Murphy is talking about. As the New York Times has confirmed, the shooter in Texas used a shotgun and a .38-caliber revolver — and nothing else besides. Moreover, because he was 17-years-old, he was ineligible to purchase a gun either privately or commercially, and thus had no contact with NICS background-check system that Murphy wants to expand. What, precisely, did “Congress” fail to do here? What perverted signal did it send? What “endorsement” did it provide?
If his public statements are to be believed, Senator Murphy does not want to ban shotguns or .38-caliber revolvers, which is why he has made no effort to convince Congress to do so.

I agree with @Ryan_Deitsch – if we want to change our nation's gun laws, we need to get young people to vote. https://t.co/PSFB5Y2cuj

The problem is not that the murderers are armed. The problem is that the rest are unarmed.
Gun Free Zones = Shooting Fish in a Barrel. They don’t even get a sporting chance.
Depriving people of the means to defend themselves is inherently IMMORAL.
The problem is that there are murderers. “Liberal” tolerance of evil people facilitates these atrocities. Mind you that most of public schools are controlled by “Liberal” establishment. Thus the deaths of innocent children are the fruits of “Liberalism”.
Evil people control, not gun control, is what we need in America.
Note that the Liberals teach subjective morality.
They teach that it is up to the individual to decide what they think is good or evil, right or wrong.
If one thinks killing unborn babies is OK, than it is good.
If one thinks sexual perversion is OK, than it is good.
If one does not like the 1o Commandments of GOD, than it is bad.
If one does not agree with GOD’s laws, than it is bad.
This is the mentality of a child, I Want and you better give me what I want.
EMPD, i FIRST heard that there were no school resource officers. That was around 1pm EST. That changed by 4pm ish, to there were 3 of them there, one of which got shot..
So they DID have some sort of protection, just not enough.
AND as of last night, not ONE OF THE red flag laws, or anything else we have on the books, would have done a DAMN THING To prevent this nutter from grabbing his papa’s guns and going on the spree..
i have to agree, yet i will also add this, the news media is also accountable for this they are causing copy cats and more idiots to get the idea. they refuse to publicize when some one stops these criminals with a legally own gun. Hitler pulled this type of crap got everyone’s means of defending themselves , then slaughter them like sheep.
the worst part is a lot of the crooked gun control advocates have some kind of security and everyone else does not. the Florida school shootings was an Obama democrat caused problem. gun free zones are target zones. made that way by gun control advocates. its time to hold these gun control advocates accountable.
I agree. ALL the glorification they give TO the shooters, delving in to every orafice of his life, is imo what SPURS on some of these idiots…
And don’t forget Obama’s policies to NEVER discipline disruptive students–just let them go on disrupting. Cruz–the Parkland School Shooter was in one of Obama’s BS “no disipline” programs. Kids LEARN by the limits set. If there ARE no limits, they keep escalating their bad behavior to find out where the boundaries are. If there ARE no boundaries, some of them just might “escalate” all the way up to MURDER–as numerous school shooters HAVE. And NOT ONE of them would have been stopped by the NCIS database OR the “gun control” laws already on the books from getting the guns they used, which is the UGLY TRUTH the gun-grabbing Dems want to obfuscate at all costs.
I agree, David R Aikens! When the media talk about these shooters endlessly, show their pictures on TV a million times a day, etc., they are feeding the sick fantasies of those who crave their “15 minutes of fame” and the media “proves” to them that this is a good way to get it–the result is COPYCATS. The way these shooting incidents have accelerated since the non-stop publicity given to the Parkland shootings–and that CREEPY little Hitler Youth wannabe David Hogg who is EXPLOITING the HELL out of a tragic situation to get his OWN “15 minutes of fame”–seems to verify that such saturation media coverage is ENCOURAGING “copycats” to emerge.
I also think a some of them who feel “bullied” or “picked on” have decided to commit “suicide by cop,” and want to take as many others WITH them as they can–so they shoot up a “gun-free zone” school.
[The way these shooting incidents have accelerated since the non-stop publicity given to the Parkland shootings]
IMo the shootings have been increasing all the way back since the first major news story on school shootings came out.. Looking at it, we had 41 school shootings in the 1980s.. Most were just 1 or two victims dead. The first that had 3 or more, during the 80s was a female shooter at Spanaway junior high. She shot 2 boys then killed herself.
Then we had 74 injured and 2 killed, in 1986, at Cokeville elementary school after a man and his wife took hostages…
Then came the stockton schoolyard shooting, 6 dead/32 injured..
then in the 1990s, we increased to 66 school shootings.. The biggest ones being the Iowa university shooting (6 KIA/1 injured), 1991. Lindhurst high, 4 dead 10 injured in 1992. Then came west side middle school in Arkansas, 5 dead 10 injured, back in 1998. Then thurston high, in oregon. 4/23 respectively, also in 98. And the decade rounded out with the most well known one imo, Columbine.
Then we mosy into the 2000s…65 school shootings in that decade.. The most notable being Santana high in Santee ca, 2 killed/13 injured back in 2001. Then the red lake incident on the reservation. 10 dead 7 injured, though i never remember this one getting much press… Then came the Nickel mines school shooting (amish country), 5 dead and 5 wounded, though again i don’t remember it getting much news coverage, in 2005.. Then the deadliest, the Virgina tech shooting.. 33/23 dead/wounded..
Then came the Northern illinois uni shooting, 21 wounded 6 kia..
Lastly this decade.. Over 70 shootings from 2010 to 2015.. Now admittedly the site i use includes, gang shootings that were NEAR a school campus. Newtown was the most deadly of those..
And from 2015 to now, we’ve had 66 shootings..
So we went from 41 shootings in ALL of the 80s. to 60 in all of the 90s, to 65 in the 2000s, to over 100+ in the past 8 years..
Now how can that be?? When as per a survey done, gun ownership’s DOWN??
[Gun ownership is now back at the low point it reached in 2010: Only 32 percent of Americans own a firearm or live with someone who does, compared with about half the population in the late 1970s and early 1980s, according to the 2014 General Social Survey (GSS). The survey is a project of independent research organization NORC at the University of Chicago, with principal funding from the National Science Foundation.
The poll also found that 22 percent of Americans personally own a firearm, down from a high of 31 percent in 1985. The percentage of men who own a firearm is down from 50 percent in 1980 to 35 percent in 2014, while the number of women who own a gun has remained relatively steady since 1980, coming in at 12 percent in 2014.]
So what’s gone on, if its NOT a higher prevalence of guns in the hands of folk????
IMO its a mix of the DECLINE in accountability/respect/responsibility, lack of morals, removal of discipline AND the media harping up every shooting..
If you want this to end then stop making the gunman famous. Instead of talking of what they were thinking or any such discussion show what happens to them. Show the little monsters crying their eyes out and scared to death. Show them get convicted and serving life in prison or being executed. Then go back periodically and show them again so that others won’t wish to join them. Ask them if they are enjoying themselves now. Then film them crying and wishing that they had never done this. Let them tell all those who might do this what a day in jail is like for them. Let them tell others that this is all they have to look forward to for the rest of their lives if they do the same kind of thing. Put it on the Net and TV over and over.
That last part “Show them being executed” imo is what we NEED TO do with all these shooters. AND SINCE THERE SHOULD be no damn doubt of their guilt, that sentence should be carried out within 3 years MAXIMUM of their being convicted…
Everyone’s going about wringing their hands, asking “What’s wrong? How did we get here? What can be done? Why are young people shooting up schools?”
Didn’t used to happen, even when guns were FAR more easy to obtain back in the 50s and 60s. This carnage was unknown. What accounts for this?
It’s not a legal problem; it’s a much deeper one. It’s one of the human heart, of our once-shared sense of morality and humanity, our spiritual emptiness as a nation. We have left the religious and moral roots that founded the nation, the standards that served as the fabric of a decent society.
Instead of remaining faithful to our Judeo-Christian roots, we “evolved”–through multiculturalism’s false promise of a better country–into a society that mocks those standards, that dismisses the power of personal faith in God, notions that were grounded in a standard where it would never have occurred to a student to kill another one with a rifle.
It all began with a single court case in 1963 that changed the schools forever. And now–50 years on–we can’t even call boys “boys” and girls “girls.”
Talk about lost. And here we are, still thinking the problem is school shootings. It goes way deeper. What did you expect? The foundations are long removed, and you wonder why it’s all falling down around you?
Beautifully stated. The only difference in a human and any other animal, is God. Once the conscience-which comes from HIM-is destroyed and a child is raised that anything they do/want to do, is fine-no punishment (because mommy and daddy are living the same way), then there is NOTHING to cause a person to care about others-just to get/DO what they WANT. IF I thought there was NO heaven OR hell, I’d probably do the same. When we allowed them to start taking God out, we started losing our nation. Thank God for a president who is trying to put HIM back in , because that is the ONLY way, we can “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN”!!! God instructed the children of Israel to allow ONLY aliens who wanted to assimilate and who accepted THIER ways AND THEIR GOD. THAT is where we GOOFED!!!
You are right, countonit! It’s not a gun problem–it is a HEART problem. The Bible says that “the human heart is desperately wicked.” Without God in our lives, that “desperate wickedness” rules our lives, destroys our families and our society, and spawns nihilistic, soul-dead MONSTERS who shoot up schools.
You’re right. Guns were far more easily obtained. When I was in high school some of the students had .22 rifles in their lockers. They were in the shooting club and would go to the range after school. The Boy Scouts had a merit badge for shooting, and you could order a gun from the Sears Roebuck catalog and it would be shipped to your home no questions asked.
In the words of John Adams: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. “ You can see how far we have fallen.
What we need is evil people control and not gun control.
Pity there’s no ‘evilomiter’ we can use to find them..
It always amazes me how liberals believe you can get rid of 300 million guns but not 13 million illegal aliens.
Guns don’t vote.
No, but gun owners DO! And illegal invaders LEGALLY SHOULD NOT be.
IF you combine your remark, w/A-Reader’s-think you’ll have the answer!!! LOL 300 ml/against 13 ml????
Arming many teachers & others including guards is vital. Tight control on access to entire access of schools. Mental monitoring of ALL whe enter school property. kids with mental problems absolutely MUST be identified by all apropropriate law & management including teachers, FBI, local police, school leaders.
One of the easiest means i can think of, would be to LOCK ALL DOORS (from being opened by those outside), except for 1-2 main entrances.. AND HAVING those be a double ‘door’ system where someone can come in the first, but must be BUZZED into the 2nd…
Not only have the libs destroyed the moral fiber of our nation, but Hollywood movies promote violence and many of these kids spend hours playing violent video games. With no moral compass, this is the result.
There are indeed actions that should be taken. (1) Armed security guards in all schools. (2) Arm teachers who are both willing and able to carry concealed arms. I expect limited success here however –the political persuasion of the vast majority of teachers being what it is: left-liberal. (3) On the other end, there is the 64-Dollar Question: “Why has our youth become so violence-prone?” This needs to be looked into in depth to be followed by remedial action ASAP. Start with the Entertainment Industry, by all means.
The NEA and other teachers’ unions are against arming teachers. The only reason I can see for this position is that they apparently believe that their members are too stupid to learn how to safely secure and use a weapon. They would rather see people getting shot until someone else shows up to protect them. I’m surprised the unions don’t object to having fire extinguishers in schools. After all, that’s what fire departments are for.
Sun dial
[Arm teachers who are both willing and able to carry concealed arms. I expect limited success here however –the political persuasion of the vast majority of teachers being what it is: left-liberal.]
I thought that too, but hearing how mnay teachers here in Ohio signed up for getting shooting quals done, when the state made them offered up, makes me have hope that JUST cause they may be 80%+ liberal, they are NOT THAT DAMN stupid as to ignore getting armed, to protect the kids..
Add the practice of drugging the little darlings, when they act like normal kids. Then they get to go home, and warp their little drugged up minds, with those games. Bad combination.
I can’t help but wonder why the loony left keeps overlooking the fact that almost 100% of the mayhem occurs within the boundaries of their beloved “GUN FREE ZONES”. The lunatics that perpetrate these horrific crimes are not so deranged as to attack a police station, gun club, gun store or any place that carrying firearms is permitted. Armed, trained volunteer staff at schools would, if not completely eliminating, reduce the carnage to hopefully the shooter himself.
The good Senator is just another empty suit, a hollow echo chamber of the left’s campaign to control all aspects of citizen’s lives.
IMO its cause idiots like him, will NEVER Put 2 and 2 together to make 4.. PLUS since gun free zones are a liberal invention, it “can’t be them that’s to blame, it must always.. ALWAYS, be something else at fault..”
Democrats only care about this issue for the sake of the votes it might bring them from the uninformed crowd.
IMO Get rid of the gun free zones, get the kids, esp. the boys off those anti depression drugs, stop trying to make males the villains and while we all are standing around posturing, actually do things that both harder schools and protect the 2nd amendment. Liberals preach that we all should be allowed to be who we are…if you feel like a girl, but born a boy, hey, go for it, but boys are denied being who they are. Instead they are shamed, placed on drugs to suppress activity, and ignored when said drugs start to do strange things to these young kids. Then, the media does nonstop BS on these shooters and spread outright hate and lies whenever they can. Usually against guns and conservatives. And they have no trouble using kids (I say that with a sneer) like Hogg and Emma G. All designed to control us. Shame on them all. Perhaps Liberals should really move to countries that share their world view and leave the rest of us “poor fools,” to our fate. (Yes, that was sarcasm.) Ok, off my box!
I would love to know how many of these shooters were on so called anti-depressants or other psychotropic drugs.. Such as adral, rittalin etc.
Most of them. I would say at least 90%.
The Goal here is to disarm Americans so the populace can be controlled. Very simple. Nothing more, nothing less. Anyone who supports Gun Control is supporting evil either by design or in ignorance. We have a moral decay problem in America and it is manifest in STD’s in California, shootings in schools, utter total corruption in DC, etc. etc.. These problems will never be corrected until the distractions are identified as distractions and the core issues are corrected.
School shootings are a tragedy. All the gun control nonsense that follows is a distraction that enables the next one to occur and nothing had been done to prevent it because everyone was fighting over the distraction.
I wish more people would loudly and frequently point out that making laws against guns isn’t going to stop mass killings any more than existing laws against homicide have stopped them.
The left doesn’t CARE. They just think “if we pass just one more law, it will make all the difference”.. Even though we have what, 500+ gun laws already in existence!
> GUN FREE ZONE <
What does this message send? Seriously, ponder that for 30 seconds. What does a " GUN FREE ZONE " actually mean and what message does it send?
It sends: OPEN SEASON as any would be attacker will be met with ZERO RESISTANCE. Period.
Do I think every teacher should be armed? No, but there should be 2 – 3 teachers / police / off-duty officers or military on each floor and/or wing of the school that are legally trained and ready.
See here is the thing, notice that these shooters NEVER NEVER go to a " Zone " that does have a chance of weapons being there. Why?
Plus, removing Guns all together – Has anyone been paying attention to Britain? Their KNIFE assaults are UP as are car / truck assaults. So do we ban knives? Do we ban cars / trucks?
BANS ARE NOT THE ANSWER – Educate and PROTECT is.
jjb54 the problem with your analysis is that it’s perfectly logical. Libs won’t understand it. Here’s why.
Unless the particular Lib is the active shooter, he/she/it will be completely unable to see things from anyone else’s perspective. With Libs it’s all about Me Me Me. The notion that other people can operate without their help and even engage in independent thought is anathema. It’s not a possibility. They think the world revolves around them and so it must. Therefore if the idea makes sense for them in particular, and in that exact moment of time, it MUST be a universal truth for everyone. No amount of logic, facts, or even public admissions from the shooters will change this. Truth can’t penetrate the shield they’ve erected around their brains.
And if the Lib is an active shooter, she will repeat the lie to keep gun-free zones going and enjoy the hunt.
See what I did there? I gave equal credit to women by making the active shooter female. But since this came from a conservative it must be sexist somehow.
Consider how anyone who disagrees with a Lib must be deranged, bigoted, sexist, racist, whatever. They immediately dismiss the idea as an aberration and then turn the speaker into a villain or a monster. None of them hated Trump in 2015. Now he’s the most evil man of all time.
Libs have decided that whatever simplistic, naive, previously discredited idea that pops into their tiny brains must be immutable truth because they are the only ones capable of independent thought and nobody else* could have thought of this wonderful thing. When you point out the clear and obvious flaw in their plan you are (to them) arguing against truth, speaking nonsense, and on the wrong side of history.
* Like Obama saying nobody else could have done better with the economy – a lie if ever there was one.
Therefore you’re a villain or a monster as soon as you disagree with “their truth”. This realization is immediately followed by claims of racism, homophobia, etc.
Yes, I can get inside their heads. They can’t get inside of mine. If they could, they would instantly turn conservative.
Time to BAN DEMOCRATS FROM HAVING GUNS.
ROUND THEM UP AND TAKE THEIR GUNS, LEAVE THE SANE, CIVIL NORMAL PEOPLE ALONE.
I read not too long ago,an article by a doctor who stated that MOTHER’s milk is SEXUAL!! She has different milk for male and female babies. THAT would explain a lot of children who look/act more like the opposite sex, than what their body parts depict. ALL of this stuff started during WWII when mother’s started leaving the home and going to work-which started feeding babies cows milk, instead of what God designed-obviously for a reason. IF this is true, then the ONLY thing that would be different would be the hormones. DUH! What makes the different sexes?? Obviously GOD knew they would NEED additional hormones for the first few years. NOW they are SELLING “mother’s milk” for working mothers-but what if that particular mother’s milk you are feeding you baby girl-came from a mother who had a baby boy/vice versa???? Then you have all these people who aren’t smart enough to be repopulating the earth, ENCOURAGING their children to becomes tranny’s!!! NO, you can’t just be what you (or mommy) want you to be!! If you’re a boy, you can’t have a baby, and if you’re a girl, another girl can’t get you pg. WE didn’t make this world-and that first atom didn’t make itself, if you want to go that route! GOD made it, God made the rules, and when you(or a nation) break them long enough, GOD will take you/it OUT, AND HE will judge those who tried to get rid of HIM.
These “hysterical” anti-gun liberals are like a panicking drowning person, who is so out of control that he will begin to drag the lifeguard down with him. What does that lifeguard need to do when that happens? He is trained to, and has to punch out the the hysterical person’s lights in order to save both their lives.
YUP. I had to do that twice during my training when i was in the Navy..
None of the proposed ‘sesnsible’ laws would have deterred this criminal. Criminals obey all laws; that’s why gun free zone signs stop them in their tracks.
I’m STRONGLY IN FAVOR or ‘common sense gun laws’.
and we don’t even have to pass legislation to get them.
The BEST COMMON SENSE LAW on the books is the SECOND AMENDMENT!
Basically it says:
Ultimately YOU will be the FIRST RESPONDER if you need one.
And, ULTIMATELY YOU are the only one that can protect you the INSTANT YOU NEED PROTECTED!
BUY A GUN,GET TRAINED, Practice shooting until you are fully comfortable, AND CARRY IT 24/7!
Bad guys only attack the unarmed and weak.
Your choice.
And ONLY YOUR CHOICE!
Protect yourself, AND your family in the future!
Or do you plan on letting your children die because YOU FAILED AS A PARENT?
All who aren’t Lefty Loonies notice, I’m sure, that Lefty ideologues, Sen. Murphy as example, enthusiastically protect and defend their intentionally enforced ignorance, since facts, after all, undermines their fantastic narrative, while at the same time unashamedly displaying their inherent, but unintentional, stupidity. They’re always ready to leap to a podium, spout some irrational rhetoric, some high-moral sounding, ambiguous nonsense, delivered with oh, so sincere self-righteousness and assumed nobility, but offer no genuine solutions to the problems they decry, always blame others for creating and perpetuating, but about which, whenever they’re been in power, they’ve done nothing but attempt, repeatedly, to strip law-abiding citizens of their rights and privileges in the name of phony catch phrases that they never define, such as “the public good,” “fair share,” “free speech,” and so on.
A FULLY ARMED SOCIETY IS AN EXTREMELY COURTEOUS AND RESPECTFUL SOCIETY.
A “Well Armed Society” is only slightly less Courteous and Respectful.
MANDATORY FIREARMS TRAINING K-12!!!
Curriculum can be adapted to age ranges.
Hands on TRAINING in K-2, with live fire in 3rd and up.
Middle school and up will form shooting clubs and shooting teams for competition of other schools.
There will be NO MORE SCHOOL SHOOTINGS, from DAY ONE of implementation.
By graduation, more People will choose to carry for their own self defense.
With more adequate defense, even for the unarmed, only a shout away will drive the criminals back into the shadows.
And fewer and fewer Voters will vote democrat.
And fewer RINOs will get elected!
I agree, in principle, with education and training, but not life fire training for those in 3rd grade.. Maybe from age 11 up..
Certainly all High School students need to know how to exercise their 2nd amendment rights safely and properly. Passing (as in getting 100%) a gun safety course, and a passing score in target practice should be graduation requirements for all high school students. And passing a gun safety test should be a requirement for voting (preferably with an essay to ascertain the ability to understand the written language).
Geezer, don’t disagree with you, but it would be unrealistic to try to convince city dwellers that letting K-8th graders handle guns would be a good idea. But if we get high schoolers used to guns, parents will be less afraid of them, and then we can try to introduce guns in the elementary levels.
Mr. Murphy, quit the Senate, go back to high school. You think like a child.
Hey, Jackass, the shooters have either been terrorists who were “known to law enforcement” or high school students. That makes it a people problem. We’re not properly vetting Muslims before we let them in and we ARE NOT treating bullying and teasing in school the way we should be. And we are not properly arming school personnel. You Democrats ignore all that because you just want to control honest people in ways that won’t prevent shootings. You and the NEA are a bunch of passive terrorists because you don’t want to employ methods that would be effective. The NEA should be told to go to HELL for all it hasn’t done for American education.
Why do we need to ‘properly treat bullying’ though? EVERY generation has had bullies in school, but even WHEN we had better/more access to guns on schools, i don’t remember a single bullied kid resorting to shooting the school up..
SO ITS Not the bullying that’s at fault, but something with those who are getting bullied..
And yes i WAS one of those kids who got bullied..
“… if we want to change our nation’s gun laws, we need to get young people to vote. ”
Yep, the day after they’re separated from active duty on a voluntary, but not optional, minimum 2 year enlistment at age 16 with no 2S, 4F or any other deferment and that means boys, girls and those who don’t have a clue. They’re not learning anything in high school anyhow so they may as well be doing something to justify their existence other than typing gibberish into their electronic pacifiers with their thumbs.
“…ask the tough questions and hold all accountable?”
Questions like “Why aren’t there armed guards in the schools?”, “Why do you let known criminally insane individuals buy firearms instead of putting them somewhere where they and society will be safe?”, “Instead of giving really toxic drugs to young boys who just act like boys, why don’t you provide them with a more stimulating education to capture and hold their attention?” and “What is the real reason CPUSA aka Democrat anti-civil rights politicians want to violate the constitutionally guaranteed right of the citizens to keep and bear arms, particularly semi-automatic ones that go BANG each time the trigger is pressed?”
That homie of Piglet, Emma, has aspirations to be a camp guard I’m sure.
another left wing socialist from a liberal sh**hole state, when you know nothing about firearms or the Second Amendment and treat the gun owners of your state as criminals then it becomes painfully obvious that your mental state is disturbed and you have the same I.Q. level as your shoe size.
perhaps you should visit some of the ( better ) sections of Hartford at night!
You want to stop these sort of shootings in years to come? Here’s how. Stop teaching kids that life is expendable and someone else has the right to decide if you are going to live or die. You can start with ending abortion. Stop teaching kids that irresponsible gun ownership and use is glamorous by glorifying the gun toting criminal in movies. Stop teaching kids that killing is a game where you get points for the more people you kill and if you die in the process you can hit ‘reset’ and start over; stop the violent video games. Start (go back to but we are so removed at this point it is a start) teaching morals in the schools, the fact that there are truths that transcend what the individual thinks, and hold kids to those standards of behavior. That is what is going to help fix the problem not more gun laws. The problem is that these fixes go against everything that the liberals believe.
+1000%.. Add to that, go back to where kids could be DISCIPLINED properly at schools.. To where THEY WERE THE ones in fear of the teachers. Not where it is now, where in some schools, TEACHERS FEAR the students, because of the # of them that the kids HAVE attacked, but the teachers are unable to do a damn thing back..
The Congress has no authority to take away guns no matter how many young fools they register to vote anymore than they have the power to ban free speech. The 2nd Amendment merely points out the God-given right to bear arms, it does not GRANT the right. The fact that those in government are even talking about taking away guns is the reason the 2nd Amendment exists at all.
Since 90% or more of the Communist party USA (also known as the dems) don’t CARE about god, why would they worry that the right to defend oneself comes from him, not a piece of paper?
