Why It's Time to Repeal the Second Amendment
http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/why-its-time-to-repeal-the-second-amendment-right-bear-arms-20160613
I teach the Constitution for a living. I revere the document when it is used to further social justice and make our country a more inclusive one. I admire the Founders for establishing a representative democracy that has survived for over two centuries.
But sometimes we just have to acknowledge that the Founders and the Constitution are wrong. This is one of those times. We need to say loud and clear: The Second Amendment must be repealed.
As much as we have a culture of reverence for the founding generation, it's important to understand that they got it wrong — and got it wrong often. Unfortunately, in many instances, they enshrined those faults in the Constitution. For instance, most people don't know it now, but under the original document, Mitt Romney would be serving as President Obama's vice president right now because he was the runner-up in the last presidential election. That part of the Constitution was fixed by the Twelfth Amendment, which set up the system we currently have of the president and vice president running for office together.
It is from the Rolling Stone, the same magazine that put Dzokhar Tsarnaev on the cover and ran that fake rape case at University of Virginia.
Nuff said. :mental:

In other words, he uses the Constitution to further his agenda, and hates it for what it really is.
What is his DU name?

Doubt he has one. Unfortunately over the past 8 years those kinds of fringe leftists who would find their way to DU are now becoming the standard of the Democrat voting base. Scary isn't it?

That was never the purpose of the Constitution. It's purpose was to limit the powers of the federal government and preserve that power for the people and the states.

Obama said as much his first term I believe. Since then he has just chosen to ignore with the GOP being complicit.

I like what Howard Stern had to say, myself . . .

Don't forget, Obama also claimed to be a Constitutional Law Professor.

The REAL agenda is the repeal of the 1st Amendment.
It is only protected by the 2nd. Once the government has all the power, it will be like Europe/Canada only worse. Libsharia Law.

gNads may write under the pen name of Chuckie Bloomer. Look at the spelling of 'carjacer', though I admit, there was only one error so it isn't definitive. She could be having a good day.
Anyway, if you met her in person, would you question that name, assuming she identified herself with it?
I wouldn't. :whistling:
